Not only you can assist to the parade, but you also can parade yourself at the Sambadrome, in support of the samba school you like the best.

To participare at the Sambadrome Parade, you need to:

1. Choose your samba school
2. Buy a costume
3. Download and learn by heart the song of your samba school
4. Be punctual at the meeting of your school the Parade day
5. Give your best in the 50 minutes experience at the Sambadrome

You can do the first 3 steps online. The best website to do it is Rio-carnival.net. The 2013 carnival costumes will be available on November 2012. You will not need any rehearsal and you will copy the mouvements of your fellow paraders.
