Balls and galas are held all over the city, including the official balls at the Copacabana Palace.
The biggest carnival in the world, and perhaps the greatest show on earth, is Carnival in Rio de Janeiro! What originally started as a Catholic holiday has evolved into a celebration of drunken revelers, massive parades, elaborate costumes, and a huge samba competition in Rio’s Sambadrome. Balls and galas are held all over the city, including the official balls at the Copacabana Palace.
