This Saturday (4th), scheduled to start at 1 pm, there will be a carnival parade for kids at the Banco do Brasil Cultural Center in Rio de Janeiro (CCBB RJ). The game will be repeated on the 11th, at the same time. It’s a free action, aimed at the whole family. “All you have to do is come and participate. You can come in costume, you can bring confetti, serpentine. We will also have to distribute ”, she told the Brazil Agency the coordinator of CCBB Educativo do Rio, Alexandre Diniz. “The idea is to have a big carnival celebration for families and the general public of the CCBB”, he said.
According to the coordinator, the parade at the cultural center is different from other celebrations, because it brings information about the origin of the carnival and its history. “In addition to playing, the family will be able to understand a little bit about this movement and period of the year, curiosities, stories. There will be a lot of lundu dancing, maxixe, carnival marches. And the visitor gets to know a little bit about each rhythm.”

The party will last one hour, divided between the second floor and the ground floor of the cultural center. In all, ten carnival marches will be played by hired musicians, who are former educators. The flagship is Ô Open Wings, composed by Chiquinha Gonzaga for the opening of the 1900 carnival in Rio de Janeiro and which, since then, has become a hit at carnival dances of all time. “It will be a very nice party”, evaluated the coordinator.
