Carnaval de Vitória 2026: see how the second night of parades from the Special Group schools went

The second night of parades for the Special Group schools at Carnaval de Vitória 2026 took place with a minor power outage affecting the performance.

The second night of the Special Group parades at Carnaval de Vitória 2026 took place on Saturday, February 7, starting at 10 PM. Several samba schools participated, including Rosas de Ouro, Unidos da Piedade, Independente de Boa Vista, Chegou o Que Faltava, and Andaraí. The event saw a mixed display of vibrant costumes, music, and dance that are characteristic of samba culture in Brazil.

During the parade of Unidos da Piedade, a power outage impacted the sound system and caused a 40-minute delay in their performance. The disruption was attributed to an electrical issue outside the Sambão do Povo venue. However, the League of Samba Schools of the Special Group (Liesge) confirmed that Unidos da Piedade would not be penalized for the incident, and the parade's timer was paused until the issue was resolved.

Looking ahead, the ten participating schools are now awaiting the results of the scoring to determine the champion of the capixaba carnival, with the announcement set to occur on Wednesday, February 11, at 4 PM at the Sambão do Povo. The themes of the second night focused on honoring the history of Brazilian culture, reflecting the rich traditions celebrated during the carnival festivities.
