Samba Parade Costumes

You too can take part and parade yourself with a samba school in the Sambodromo, just choose one of the 2011 Rio Carnival costumes.

Carnival costumes for 2011 are already available for pre-ordering. Read more about the types of costumes available on our Costumes section. All our costume packages include English guided assistance and roundtrip transportation from Copacabana, for your safety and comfort.

If you want to do it on your own, all you have to do is buy a costume and arrive at the right time for your school's parade. You do not have to arrive early for it in Rio, you only have to go to the Sambodromo for the Parade itself.

You can participate in the ground wing or on top of a float. Most people march in their favorite school's ground wing. The costumes for those wings can be pre-ordered with us now. Float positions, usually reserved for media celebrities, are also available at very limited quantities and models.

Most ground wing costumes are unisex, equally used by both men and women. As you will be in a specific sector of a particular samba school, please choose your costume together with the appropriate parading time.

You only need to make your purchase and order the right costume size. We will let you know about all wing-specific rules and requirements.

Go ahead and pre-order your costume for 2011 Carnival now.
