About this

Carnival in Salvador, Brazil, is the world's largest street party, held annually before Lent in February or March, drawing over two million participants to neighborhoods like Pelourinho and Campo Grande. Blocos-afro groups such as Olodum and Ilê Aiyê lead massive parades with samba-reggae rhythms, while trios elétricos—truck-mounted sound systems—carry revelers through crowded avenues amid axé music performances and street vendors. The event features axé, samba, and Afro-Brazilian cultural displays, with security and designated circuit areas managing the flow of costumed crowds over six days and nights.
