With Carnival 2026 on the horizon, attendees in Rio Branco are excitedly looking for various party options, including private gatherings and block parties, alongside the city's own municipal celebration. G1 has compiled a list of these events, highlighting ticket prices that can go up to R$120. Notably, this year, the state government has decided not to host its own event, which shifts focus entirely to the Carnival Rio Branco Folia 2026, a free municipal event set to commence on February 13 and run for five nights in the downtown Praça da Revolução.

The municipal festivities will feature traditional block parades and the selection of royalty, providing a vibrant platform for local culture and entertainment. The Carnival will not only celebrate local traditions but will also host national attractions and feature music with a diverse range of rhythms, catering to a wide audience. One of the standout events, the Red and Black Carnival Ball, promises over 14 hours of celebrations, beginning on Saturday (February 14) with about 10 local attractions, offering an exciting experience for both residents and visitors.

As the city prepares for what is anticipated to be a lively Carnival season, the emphasis on community and local events reflects the ongoing cultural significance of Carnival in Brazil. The information provided by G1 serves as a helpful guide for those looking to participate in both paid and free festivities, ensuring that everyone can partake in the revelry, regardless of their budget.
