Salvador Carnival (Carnaval da Bahia)

Salvador's carnival is Brazil's other giant celebration, centered on trio elétrico sound trucks that roll through the streets of Barra and Ondina followed by dancing crowds, rather than a stadium parade. Seven days of nonstop street celebration are preceded by warm-up festivals Fuzuê and Furdunço the weekend before. (Date shown is estimated from the event's typical annual timing — confirm with the organizer closer to the date.)
