History of Brazil Carnival
Dating back to the 1700s the Brazil carnival is celebrated a week before the period of Lent. Lent is a religious practice followed by Christians as a period of observance in respect of Jesus Christ’s holy sacrifice. During the 40-day period before Easter, people observe fasting with no celebrations and minimal socialising. Hence, this carnival was celebrated to make up for the next 6 weeks of observance and mark the beginning of the holy phase.

Celebration Style
Not only Rio De Janeiro and Salvador but the entire country is shut down for 6 days with celebrations in full-swing. Although the basic celebration style of the carnival is to celebrate and rejoice, different cities celebrate the festival differently with their distinctive local touch.

For instance, a week-long Samba parade and ‘Blocos’ are an interesting add-on to the general celebrations. Blocos are blocks of people who specialize in various dancing styles. Their energy is a sight to behold during the festival. Salvador celebrates a lavish carnival by displaying all their music and art on the streets on motorized vehicles displaying art along with the artists. The sound and enthusiasm are always on its top note in Salvador making it possible for anyone to enjoy and be a part of the festivities.
Minas Gerais and Olinda celebrate the carnival in their specialized costumes where participants celebrate in different blocos full of colours and style. Business and offices are generally shut as thousands of people get onto the streets for the 6 days of festivities. The whole country comes in unison to celebrate this wonderful carnival and exhibit their colourful culture to the rest of the world.
Costumes and Carnival
One of the most significant components of the Brazil carnival is the costumes. Unmatched hours are spent on designing these costumes and bringing them to life. Masks hold high significance in depicting expressions of joy, cheerfulness, pleasure, sorrow, pain, and grief, as a tribute to the various phases of life.
