The city of Belo Horizonte has officially announced the schedule for its Carnival in 2027, set to take place from January 23 to February 14. This announcement was made during a press conference by the city hall, which also detailed plans for the next Carnival edition. The Municipal Tourism Company of Belo Horizonte, Belotur, indicated that the planning phase would begin after the completion of reports and consolidation of data from 2026, marking a proactive approach towards future events.

To enhance the organization of the Carnival, discussions will occur with street blocks, samba schools, and caricature groups to refine the official guidelines. Three main areas of focus have been identified for improvement: advancing the schedule, increasing the predictability of fund disbursement, and refining qualifying criteria for participants. The goal is to provide greater security and planning capabilities to event organizers right from the start of the new cycle, ensuring a more successful and well-coordinated Carnival.

In the 2026 Carnival, Belo Horizonte experienced record numbers, with over 6.5 million revelers attending the event. This statistic reflects the growing popularity of Carnival in the city, indicating a rising trend in both participation and investment from the municipality to accommodate the increasing number of attendees. With the preparations set in motion for 2027, city officials are optimistic about not only maintaining this success but also enhancing the overall experience for both participants and organizers alike.
