Rio de Janeiro

Pride & Events

Carnival in Rio needs no introduction as the city's main event. The famous parade is televised around the globe, but what does not appear on TV are the popular street parties which take place all over town. New Year's Eve is the second biggest event on the Rio calendar, where party goers dress in new white clothes to usher in good luck. Pride is a somewhat smaller event in the spring, primarily attracting a local LGBTQ crowd to Copacabana.
