Rio Carnival 2027: Samba Parade Participation with Samba School Costume and Hotel Transfers

Join a real Rio samba school at the Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome, parading in an authentic tailor-made costume with round-trip transfers included.

Getting started

Begin your Carnival night with your scheduled round-trip transfers between your hotel and the Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome. After hotel pickup, ride directly to the Sambadrome, where the samba school team meets you. Once checked in with them, you move to the preparation area to get ready for your samba school parade participation.

What to expect

Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome

This is Rio de Janeiro's iconic Carnival stadium, where samba schools compete and the parade comes to life. Here you switch from spectator to performer, joining a real samba school parade and stepping onto the same avenue as professional samba performers.

Features

• Feel the atmosphere of the Marquês de Sapucaí Sambadrome from inside the procession as you walk alongside professional samba performers, surrounded by music, energy, and the living traditions of Brazil’s most famous celebration.
• Receive an original, tailor-made costume created by a samba school, designed specifically for the Carnival Parade so you look and feel like a true member of the school.
• Get personalized assistance with putting on the costume, with the team helping you prepare, dress, and feel comfortable before you join your samba school parade participation.
• Rely on round-trip transfers between your hotel and the Sambadrome, so you can focus on the experience instead of transport logistics.
• Keep your tailor-made samba school costume after the parade as an option, taking it home as a unique Carnival souvenir if you have space in your luggage.

Wrapping up

At the end of your parade section, you leave the performance area and reunite with your group for the return leg of your round-trip transfers back to your hotel, now carrying your optional costume keepsake and the memory of having been part of a real samba school parade.
