One of the all time frequently asked question I get from tourist all over the world is regarding carnival dates in Brazil. Most people don´t know that the carnival dates are variable, and not fixed per every year.

In order to help your planning, we decided to supply you with all of the dates through 2030. We don't want you to miss the best beach vacations of your life, which is Rio de Janeiro.

Carnival is a four day event that changes dates every year. It begins forty days before the Catholic holiday, Lent. The celebrations start Friday, prior to Ash Wednesday up until the following Tuesday. Ash Wednesday is a day used for recovering from the previous sleepless nights. However some cities in Brazil will present Carnival activities until the following weekend.
