Technical Rehearsals at the Sambodromo

If You Happen To Be In Rio De Janeiro From January To The Week Before Carnival, Technical Rehearsals At The Sambodromo Make A FREE Weekend Program You Don’t Want To Miss.

If you are excited about the glamour associated with the Rio Carnival of  2013, be sure to participate at the Sambodromo technical rehearsals, from Early January to the weekend preceding Carnival itself. This is when all the Samba schools prepare for the big parade at the main stage. For the grand parades, samba schools rehearse over and over again with ample sound and light, right from January to February. This gives you plenty of opportunity to get a sneak preview of the actual theme proposed for the school parades. And the best of all, It’s Free and Fun!
