Brazilian Carnival is one of the world’s most famous festivals. It starts on the Friday and ends on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. Carnival is known as farewell to well things in a season of religious discipline. It marks the beginning of Lent, the forty-day long period before Easter.
Being the most famous Brazilian holiday, Carnival doesn’t commemorate a big moment in history or a famous personality. It is important for people because it is time of fun, freedom, and almost a whole week without work.
People can choose between parties or rest. Most choose celebration lasting for four days and nights and party non-stop day after day, night after night. People put on costumes and go out into the streets or to clubs. Costumes and rhythms vary from one region of Brazil to another.
There are well-known Samba schools which make huge parades showing their music, fantasies, and allegorical cars followed by the public. Every year the parade tells a different story.
