  • The Samba schools promote the Brazilian–African dance form of Samba throughout the year. Several months before Carnival, they begin their preparations for the big parade.

    The Samba schools mainly consist of volunteers from the local neighborhoods. Money is raised from the sales of their school’s tickets for the Samba Parade or by sponsorship.
