Carnaval is perhaps the largest event in Rio, with venues scattered around town. The highlight is the spectacular samba school parade, a rich and colorful exhibition of 14 groups each day along the street, called Samb mo, with seating for the 70,000 locals and foreigner visitors. Each performing group, dressed in elaborate thematic costumes, sings and dances the samba to the sound of drums with the hundreds of enthusiastic participants and beautiful floats. Rio Carnival takes place on Shrove Tuesday week, from the previous Saturday to Ash Wednesday.
