Rio Carnival attracts more than half a million tourist who flock to Rio from around the world. Brazilian citizens will also travel to Rio de Janeiro from all over this great and prosperous country.

For many, Rio Carnival is about drinking and partying — but it’s most important to understand that Rio Carnival is much more than that!

For the proud citizens of Brazil, Rio Carnival is a time to show off a year’s worth of hard work and dedication to the community through parade competitions. Everyone knows that the big showdown will take place in the Sambadrome  (Portuguese for House of Samba).

The Rio Carnival Parades are magnificent spectacles that are truly fun to watch, but one cant forget that they are fiercely judged competitions among teams that have extremely loyal followings. Each song you hear, the dances you see, and the mammoth floats and ornate costumes are all the product of a well-orchestrated machine called a Samba School.

Samba Schools support their communities in various ways. They bring music and dance and a hope for their usually poor community while one of their main purpose is to prepare for and compete in the Sambadrome Parades of Rio Carnival. The Samba Schools are ranked into several groups. The two top groups, the Access Group and the Special Group, compete through their parades down the half-mile stretch of the Samba runway.
