Samba Parade Costumes
You can also take part and parade yourself with a samba school in the Sambodromo, just choose one of the 2009 Rio Carnival costumes.
You only have to buy a costume and arrive at the right time for your school's parade. You do not have to arrive for it early in Rio, you only have to go to the Sambodromo for the Parade itself.
Read more about how to participate and learn your samba song.
You can participate in a ground wing or on top of a float. Most people march in their favorite school's ground wing. The costumes for those wings are generally produced and sold by the wing's president. Float positions are usually for media celebrities however some are sold commercially.
Anyone can participate in a ground wing.
In order to be considered for a place on a float they will usually request some recent photos preferably in bikinis or swimming trunks.
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 parading time.
You only need to make your purchase and order the right costume size. Your president will let you know about all wing-specific rules and requirements.
