The street carnival in Rio de Janeiro is in full swing this weekend, with a total of 37 official blocks scheduled across the city. Saturday features the highest number of parades, with 20 scheduled events, while Sunday will see another 17. A highlight of the festivities is the Bloco da Anitta, taking place in the city center on Saturday morning, and Monobloco, which will perform on Sunday on Rua Primeiro de Março.

Even after the traditional days of the festivities, Riotur's official schedule continues to support a vibrant marathon of blocks in various neighborhoods, including the South Zone, Center, North Zone, and West Zone. This shows that there is still room in the agenda for those looking to enjoy the last days of the carnival, catering to both local residents and tourists.

In anticipation of the large crowds expected for the parades and major blocks in the center, the Metro has announced a special operation. Stations such as Uruguaiana, Carioca, and Cinelândia will have enhanced crowd management measures to ensure safety and organization during the busy carnival days.
