Useful Information: Salvador's carnaval is a street party, which counts with the participation of the people. Over 19 Km of blocked streets for the parade of millions of people following the trios (flat-bed trucks equipped with powerful sound systems). Around 170 organized parades called ´blocos` from the carnaval in Bahia, they are blocos of trio, alternatives, blocos of afro, blocos of afoxés, blocos of transvestites, kids parades, blocos of indians and percussion.BOOK IT

      THE MAIN CIRCUITS

 

            Blocos de carnival

The ´blocos de carnaval` are formed by a ´trio elétrico` and a support car, and their space is reserved and separated by a large rope. Each bloco has around 3000 members/participants, who may be identified by wearing the abadá, and are protected by a security scheme that counts with over 1000 people.

The trios elétricos parade surrounded by the bloco's members and, outside the rope, millions of other people follow them. Artists sing and play the whole time, while the crowd dance, flirt and have fun.

How to participate in a parade/bloco, After confirming payment, you will receive a voucher, which you will exchange for the Kit Fantasia when you arrive for carnival

    The Trio Electrico

The trio electrico is a large flat-bed truck, equipped with modern sound systems, as well as the band's equipment, which stays at the upper stage where artists perform.

The trio's average speed is 2 Km/h, and it stops many times. By doing this, it is able to finish the 6 Km street circuit within 7 to 8 hours.

The Barra/Ondina circuit, with approximately 4 Km, may be finished in around 5 to 6 hours, allowing members to follow it dancing and playing

      Abadá—T- Shirts- Shirts
Abadá is the costume that allows the identification of the bloco's members. In fact, each member is entitled to one ´Kit Fantasia`, which comprises of one abadá (large t-shirt printed with the bloco's security symbol), shorts and various complements.Each member receives 1 abadá for each day, which may be identified by print and color and bears the specific day to be worn.

Please be sure not cut your Secuity Logo if you wish to re-style the abada or it will loose the value and you will not be able to participate.

      POCORN DANCERS

The popcorn dancers ` are people who dance carnaval outside the blocos' ropes.

They may follow the blocos and musical attractions without paying; however, they do not enjoy the privileges, or the safety, of the blocos' members. Care must be taken because of the large Crowd. I would only advise to Participate as a last resource.
