About
Carnival in Rio is not just about samba or street parades. The city’s queer scene also plays a huge role during Carnival, especially through club events that take over the city, driven by a vibrant and pulsating electronic music culture.
In Rio, it has become a tradition to officially kick off Carnival with the Mania - Abre Alas party, which always takes place on Thursday, right before the full Carnival frenzy begins. With a soundtrack that blends disco, house, dance pop, and pop, it delivers high-quality music for Brazil’s queer crowd—while warmly welcoming international visitors as well.
