When we came, it was off-season, so there was no performance activities, but the downstairs of the steps near the intersection, you can still see small vendors who can borrow some very colorful clothes worn during the festival. Take pictures.

Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
The festival of the world - the samba parade in Rio de Janeiro's carnival is held on this samba avenue. Samba Avenue was designed by Brazilian designer Oscar Niemeyer and completed in 1984. The auditorium on both sides is a box on one side, and the other side is a concrete step seat that is not seated according to specific seats. The entire venue can accommodate 90,000 people. The multi-story floats and parade crowds slowly advance from the middle of the avenue in the samba parade during the annual carnival week. It is worth mentioning that Samba Avenue has also been transformed into the archery venue for the 2016 Rio Olympics, as well as part of the marathon.

Unexpectedly, Samba Avenue is very close to the subway station, so it's very easy to find. But we must buy tickets in advance during the carnival. We came in such a hurry that we thought we could buy tickets on the spot. As a result, all the tickets were sold out. The tickets for cattle outside were so expensive that we could only regret missing them. But the whole Rio could feel the atmosphere. Bars and restaurants were very excited. From September, everyone was very excited. Start with carnival information on the official website.
In late February, I came to Rio, just in time for Brazil's Samba Carnival. The local friends booked the stand tickets online. We came here in the evening to find a sea of people. Everyone was enthusiastic and shouted one after another. Although it was very lively, the carnival was very orderly. The organizers managed it well and had good guidance service and safety. Safeguard measures, but we still try to be careful, do not crowd into the crowd, but also take care of their bags, mobile phones and so on.
Rio de Janeiro and even Brazil are particularly well-known streets, where there is a very good Samba spirit, a good dance atmosphere, especially the liveliness here is very infectious.
When it comes to carnival, the oval auditorium is the most lively seat-grabbing holy place. All kinds of performances and carnivalries in the crowd, waving Brazilian star flags, floats parading in the main street with headlights, are very lively.
