The Street Carnival in Brasilia

Finally the Carnival has arrived! Brasilia's street are getting filled up, the neighborhoods are organizing their own festivities. We took the kids and went to see a parade on the W3, with large speakers and lots of fuzzy hairy dancing people. We went to a couple of quadras; a first one with a girl's drummer band, very powerful and exciting. The other one was more a kids friendly hood, with lots of confetti and color spray thrown around. The mayhem is good, the vibe is happy, people are laughing and chatting, it is really an excuse to make noise, dance in public, drink a bit and just celebrate.
