Carnival 2026: Check out the recap of the third day of parades by the Special Group.
Published on 18/02/2026 - 11:11 | Updated
Unidos de Vila Isabel was the second school to parade at the Sambadrome on Tuesday - Beth Santos / Rio City Hall Concluding a five-day period of consecutive festivities, Carnival Tuesday (February 17th) featured activities in various locations across Rio. At the Sambadrome, four samba schools concluded the 2026 Special Group parades: Paraíso do Tuiuti, Unidos de Vila Isabel, Acadêmicos do Grande Rio, and Acadêmicos do Salgueiro. The revelry was also intense at Intendente Magalhães, Terreirão do Samba, and in more than 50 street parties that paraded through the city.
Mixing Brazilian and Caribbean sounds in its melody, Paraíso do Tuiuti was the first school to define its theme for 2026 and parade this Tuesday. The group from the São Cristóvão neighborhood put on a show with the theme "Lonã Ifá Lukumi," where it presented Ifá, an Afro-Caribbean religious tradition that is being rediscovered in Brazil. Speaking of ancestry, spirituality, and resistance, the highlights were the baianas section, which represented the vital force of Ashé, and the second float, which showed the arrival of Ifá in Ancient Egypt.
The second parade of the night was Unidos de Vila Isabel, with the theme “Macumbembê, Samborembá: I Dreamed that a Samba Dancer Dreamed of Africa,” in homage to Heitor dos Prazeres, a fundamental artist in the history of samba and Carnival. With many colors and vibrant costumes, the group moved the Sapucaí audience by bringing aspects of the life of the ogã (a high-ranking priest in Afro-Brazilian religions) in Tia Ciata's terreiro (Candomblé temple) and creator of the expressions “Little Africa” and “Africa in miniature.” The floats creatively alluded to the aesthetics of the artist's paintings, bringing to life the illustrations that are part of Heitor's work.
Next, “A Nação do Mangue” invaded the Sapucaí, with its theme dealing with the Manguebeat cultural and musical movement, born in Recife, Pernambuco, in the early 1990s. The school brought luxurious and colorful props to the Apoteose, symbolizing the creative fusion between Brazilian popular traditions and global urban influences. The highlight of the group was the Maracatu float, which showed the meeting of popular tradition with the electricity emanating from Manguebeat.
Closing the night and the parades of the special group in 2026, Acadêmicos do Salgueiro presented "the delirious carnival journey of the teacher who wasn't afraid of witches, codfish, or the peg-legged pirate" – a theme that honored Rosa Magalhães, one of Brazil's most inventive artists. With one of the most memorable samba songs of the day, sung by the vast majority of those occupying the stands, the group brought together fairies, pirates, animals, and mermaids, forming a playful and fun scene on the avenue.
The results will be announced this Ash Wednesday (February 18th), and the champions will return to the avenue next Saturday (February 21st).
Schools from the Evaluation Group conclude parades on Intendente Magalhães Road.
On Tuesday night, the atmosphere of competition and revelry was also present on Estrada Intendente Magalhães. On the "Popular Samba Runway," as the street is affectionately called, the Evaluation Group featured parades from 14 samba schools. They were: Mocidade Unida da Cidade de Deus; Império Ricardense; Raça Rubro-Negra; Império da Resistência; Mocidade Independente de Inhaúma; Acadêmicos da Pedra Branca; Difícil é o Nome; Gato de Bonsucesso; Arame de Ricardo; Acadêmicos de Madureira; Renascer de Nova Iguaçu; Coroado de Jacarepaguá; Unidos de Manguinhos; and Casa de Malandro.
The Delírio da Zona Oeste samba school was the only one that did not hold its parade.
Next Friday (February 20th), the program at Intendente continues, with the start of the Bronze Series competition. Starting at 6 pm, with free admission, the following samba schools will parade: Concentra Imperial, Acadêmicos do Recreio, Rosa de Ouro, Império de Brás de Pina, Sereno de Campo Grande, Flor da Mina do Andaraí, Unidos de Cosmos, União Cruzmaltina and Alegria de Copacabana.
The Bira Presidente Circuit, on Avenida Chile, was also a stage for the festivities, hosting four lively carnival groups and several Afro-Brazilian carnival groups. The highlight of the night was Cacique de Ramos, which, celebrating its 65th anniversary, marked the first Carnival without the presence of Bira Presidente and the debut of the circuit of the same name, named in homage to one of the great symbols of samba and popular culture in Rio de Janeiro.
At Terreirão do Samba, Carnival Tuesday was filled with shows by Yan, Vou Zuar, and Arlindinho, as well as a DJ from FM O Dia, bringing lots of fun to the audience. The date marks the end of a five-day period of consecutive parties that attracted thousands of people to the venue.
In Rio's street Carnival, the highlight was the mega-bloc Fervo da Lud, led by singer Ludmilla, which brought together around 600 revelers on the Preta Gil Circuit, on Rua Primeiro de Março, in downtown Rio. Another 51 groups also celebrated in the city streets.
Until next Sunday (February 22nd), around 40 street parties will still take place in Rio.

PUBLIC ORDER AND MUNICIPAL GUARD
Increased enforcement around the Sambadrome: more than 300 street vendors approached.
The Municipal Secretariat of Public Order (SEOP) and the Municipal Guard operated throughout Tuesday (February 17th) in 52 street parades, on the third and final day of the Special Group parades at Marquês de Sapucaí and the fourth day of parades at Intendente Magalhães, with the Evaluation Group. Among the street parades, highlights included Fervo da Lud, on the Preta Gil Circuit, and Banda de Ipanema. At Marquês de Sapucaí, operations took place in both internal and external areas. Outside, inspection teams approached 237 street vendors through the actions of the Urban Control Coordination (CCU), in addition to the 80 fixed points that were randomly selected to operate around the Sambadrome.
The teams worked at gathering points, during movements, and also during the dispersal of the carnival groups, carrying out urban order enforcement actions and monitoring illegal street vendors, paying special attention to the seizure of glass bottles, which are prohibited and can cause accidents. In total, the agents seized 168 glass bottles at various points in the city.
The municipal guards also focused on monitoring and enforcing traffic regulations, operating roadblocks, guiding pedestrian crossings, and curbing illegal parking and obstruction of public areas, among other irregularities. The operation's main objective was to minimize potential traffic impacts and expedite the reopening of roads after the events concluded. The GM and SEOP teams provided nearly 500 services to citizens on the streets of Rio, mostly in the form of information.
Inside the Sambadrome, teams were positioned around the health posts set up and also at the entrances to the stands. Teams from the Maria da Penha Patrol (RMP) were positioned at strategic points in the Sambadrome, acting to apprehend cases of violence against women and providing emergency support, as well as promoting the Specialized Care Network, in support of the Special Secretariat for Policies and Promotion of Women. The teams carried out hundreds of interventions throughout the day of the parades.
Nearly two thousand agents participated in operations throughout the city this Tuesday, 950 of them in the vicinity of the Sambadrome alone. In total, half a ton of prohibited items were removed to municipal depots.
Throughout the day, teams from the Integrated Territorial Actions Coordination (CATI) operated on the streets of Rio, including in the vicinity of the street parades and the Marquês de Sapucaí. Eighty-one homeless individuals were approached, but none accepted the shelter offered by the Rio City Hall. The teams checked the criminal records of 18 individuals approached, but no one was taken to police stations. In total, two sharp objects were seized, in addition to seven items for drug use. During the operations, 400 kg of accumulated waste were also removed, contributing to the organization of public space and the reduction of health risks. The actions aimed to preserve public order, prevent risks, and guarantee the safety of the population and those attending the carnival events.
The Municipal Guard and SEOP issued 246 traffic tickets this Tuesday. In the Marquês de Sapucaí region alone, the guards operated at 81 roadblocks. The agents were supported by 60 operational vehicles and eight tow trucks just in the vicinity of the Sambadrome. Throughout the day, 23 vehicles that were in the path of the carnival parades were removed to municipal impound lots. The actions are carried out preventively, with agents in the field and monitoring through cameras to ensure a safe route.
Municipal Guards found a vehicle in inadequate condition on Rua da Assembleia, during the operation for the Fervo da Lud carnival, and the driver was unlicensed. The driver was taken to the 5th Police Station, and the vehicle was towed to the municipal impound lot. In Barra da Tijuca, a man was apprehended after being caught vandalizing a ticket booth window at the Lourenço Jorge BRT station. Meanwhile, at the Sambadrome, the team operating at the roadblock on Rua Estácio de Sá controlled a small fire in a residential apartment on the street.
