RIO CARNIVAL 2011 : PARTIES AND BALLS

With a wide range of themes, dress and constituents, the Carnival Balls can be a good option for those who look for fun in a not so expensive way. Balls usually don´t start until 11PM and go strong until sunrise, with a never-ending succession of samba bands pounding out a steady rhythm all night long.

Most of the balls are quite informal affairs, open to the middle and upper-middle classes of Rio. No dress code exists, and no costume is mandatory at most balls. The most famous balls around Rio are Mangueira Ball, Gala Gay Ball, Scala Ball, Copacabana Palace Gala Ball, Red & Black Ball.

Come back later to an update list of all balls, their schedule and ticket prices.
