“I think that carnival makes us forget about everything and enjoy and indulge ourselves. It’s a moment we have, as life in Brazil is hard, so many problems. It seems that we need this party to be able to have a happy year.”

STORYLINE:
Revelers kicked off the 2025 carnival season with an unofficial carnival opening, with street parties around Rio de Janeiro on Sunday.
42 different street party bands, from 9 a.m. through 4 p.m. or when the last reveler leaves, will be parading through Rio’s downtown.
“I think that carnival makes us forget about everything and enjoy and indulge ourselves. It’s a moment we have, as life in Brazil is hard, so many problems," said Gabriela Zampirolli, wearing a Jasmine costume in a duo with her husband dressed as Aladdin. "We need this party to be able to have a happy year."
Unofficial street parties are groups that parade without taking part in the city hall’s registration process.
Many started out as a group of musician friends who ended up attracting revelers on the way, celebrating together.
Carnival in 2025 will happen in the first days of March, so party lovers will have two months of pre-carnival colorful celebrating and parading until the official carnival week.
