To quote the well known phrase: what is the true measure of success? In the case of the 12th Annual Brazilian Street Carnaval, it was a success at many levels with so many to thank.
The 12th Annual Brazilian Street Carnaval has been chosen by the LA Times Editors as the Best Bet Event for this Sunday!
Samba Celebrities Exclusive to the Event
Exclusive to this year's event are Rio's 2008 reigning King and Queen of Carnaval, Alex de Oliveira, Rio's current King Momo and Thatiana Pagung, current samba queen of Mocidade Samba School, one of the top samba schools in Brazil.
They will be parading in the Rio-Style parade and Thatiana will be giving a workshop in samba dance for all those aspiring to become Percussion Queens!
With this year's theme of "Children", we are inviting all children to parade with us in costume or Brazilian-style clothes in the Rio-Style samba parade. If you don't have a costume, we have some very nice costumes made in Brazil that you will love - and the price is right!
You can be a part of our second parade, the Trio Electrio in the style of Bahia. This year's Trio-Electrio is lead by the energetic Bahian Fabio Assis and Made in Bahia. You can purchase your T-Shirt online.
