| Festival Description | The São Paulo carnival offers less expensive tickets and a less touristy atmosphere than the Rio festival. These factors appeal to the locals and tourists alike who are looking for an alternative to the Rio event. The city of São Paulo’s samba schools perform all night in the Sambadrome, competing for the much-coveted samba award. The festival takes place over a weekend, but in the two weeks leading up to the event, music and dancing take place in the Sambadrome for free. |
