Rio's big fest: Carnival hits the streets
Rio's big fest: Carnival hits the streets

Carnival hasn't officially started here in Rio, but the revelry has already been underway for days. Beginning last week, the first big street parties kicked off, filling many neighborhoods with revelers singing and dancing down the avenues. These are Rio's street parades -- known locally as bandas and blocos -- and are open to all who want to join the party. All you have to do is show up.



Over the next week, hundreds more street parades will hit the Rio stage. More famous gatherings, like the Cordao de Bola Preta in the center of town, will bring out several hundred thousand.
