Carnaval Brasileiro
Austin, Texas
February 4th
Carnaval Brasileiro
Held AT: Terrell Park-Beaumont Botanical Gardens
A portion of the proceeds benefits the Austin Sunshine Camps.
Carnaval Brasileiro, one of Austin’s longest-lived annual events, is busily readying for its 35th year as the city’s biggest and best party. Carnaval, which has grown into the largest indoor Brazilian Mardi Gras celebration anywhere on the globe, explodes at 9:00 p.m., February 4, 2012 at Austin’s Palmer Events Center, 900 Barton Springs Road.
The infectiously danceable pulse of samba drums, an endless parade of exotic costumes, and the uninhibited euphoria of over 6,000 attendees have established this Brazilian style festival as one of the most anticipated fêtes on area calendars. the party’s quality is proven by its longevity: currently only Carnaval and Eeyore’s Birthday survive from Austin’s Golden Age of wild parties and total weirdness. In addition, organizers estimate that more than thirty percent of the party’s 6,000 attendees in 2011 came from outside the city, making Carnaval a very important component of the area economy.
