Rio Carnival Costume Balls

Rio Scala Balls, The Magic Ball and more.

The carnival in Rio de Janeiro is one big frenzied party. The festivities last for four nights with the hysteria reaching new heights as each night leads on to the next.  A significant component of the carnival is the balls. The most prestigious and glamorous is the Magic Ball at the Copacabana Palace. It is also the most expensive one and attracts celebrities from all over the world. The Scala nightclub in downtown Rio sets the stage for a thematic carnival ball every night and hosts the grand finale of the carousing with the hilarious Gay Costume Ball. Apart from this, there are street parties taking place at every corner of the city so wherever you go, the hip twitching samba beats and rib tickling samba dance is always around.

Carnival costume balls are part of Rio Carnival celebration. With a wide range of themes, the Rio Scala Balls are the most famous and the most affordable ones. They take place nightly from Thursday before carnival starts to Fat Tuesday.

But there is also the chic and sumptuous Magic Ball at the famous Copacabana Palace Hotel, on Saturday February 18, 2012. The Sofitel Bal Masqué closes the ball series on Saturday after carnival, the 25th of February. To be Confirmed.
