Brazilian Carnival - a fun festival every day
It is held for three days each year in mid-February or late February. At Carnival in Brazil, everyone is reluctant to express themselves, but wants to be someone else.
Some men wish they had feminine characteristics; And some normally introverted women do a wild dance, trying to imitate the agility and power of others.

Rio de Janeiro's annual carnival King, Carnival Queen and carnival princess are selected. They are all samba masters who have been the lead dancers in various samba performances, and the carnival king must weigh more than 130 pounds.
The grand samba parade is led by a 10-meter-long float with loudspeakers, seven or eight drummers on the roof of the car to beat deafening joyous drums, singers sing, samba ladies high above, wiggling their waists, dancing a cheerful samba.
Legend has it that Rio de Janeiro Carnival began in the mid-19th century. At first, Carnival was small, limited to a few indoor masquerade parties held by aristocrats, where people donned masks bought from Paris and enjoyed themselves.
In 1852, a Portuguese orchestra led by Azevedo took to the streets. With the bright rhythm of the music, black and white, rich and poor, men, women and children jumped to their feet, and the whole city rejoiced.
Azevedo's action was a great success and became a milestone in the history of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, marking Carnival as a public holiday.
The Samba competition is one of the major events of Rio de Janeiro Carnival. The arena covers an area of 85,000 square meters, flanked by stands, and in the middle is a passage for samba teams to march. Tens of thousands of spectators come here during the competition.
