Ana Clara Lima, a 28-year-old presenter for Globo, is gearing up for a busy Carnaval 2026. She will juggle her commitments to the reality show Big Brother Brasil 26 with her passion for the Carnaval festivities. Known for its vibrant atmosphere, she looks forward to experiencing the beauty of Salvador's Carnaval for the first time, while maintaining her duties at the Marquês de Sapucaí in Rio de Janeiro.

Despite the excitement of Carnaval, Lima has decided not to participate in a samba school's parade this year, a role typically reserved for prominent figures and celebrities. Instead, she will be focusing on her work at the reality show, which is a significant undertaking in itself, as the show continues to attract large audiences and generate significant media attention during this popular time.

Lima's plans highlight the blend of work and celebration that is often seen during Carnaval in Brazil, where many individuals in the entertainment industry take on multiple roles. Her decision to experience Salvador's festivities while also being present in Rio showcases the duality of being a star in the Brazilian entertainment scene, where one must navigate both the professional demands and the cultural celebrations that are integral to their identity.
