Camarote Rio Praia 2026 tickets drop with nightly samba circles

Camarote Rio Praia 2026 starts ticket sales with Xande, Belo and nightly samba circles at a prime Sapucaí spot between sectors 8 and 10.

Facing the parade runway near the second drumline break (the bateria’s “recuo”), the hospitality space promises six Carnival nights with live shows, DJs and a new signature feature: samba circles every single night.

Camarote Rio Praia 2026: full-service comfort

Rio Praia features multiple environments designed for different vibes: lounge areas, a main floor, premium zones and a VIP area for guests looking for sophistication and networking. It also includes private restrooms and air-conditioned spaces to keep the experience smooth throughout the night.

The package highlights premium open bar (drinks and spirits), open food with a varied buffet and exclusive round-trip transfer. Guests can also use beauty stations for hair and makeup, plus a customization corner to upgrade the official shirt with embroidery and embellishments.

For groups, an exclusive lounge targets corporate hosting and private celebrations. It comfortably fits parties from 16 people, can welcome more than 50 guests and comes with dedicated waiter service, its own transfer and a privileged view of the on-site shows.

The official meeting point is set at Pestana Rio Atlântica, in Copacabana, to streamline pre-parade logistics. From there, the operation focuses on convenience and controlled access to the Sambadrome.

Live shows: dates and headliners

Across six event nights, the production forecasts around 60 hours of entertainment alongside the parade schedule. The music programming leans into samba and pagode, keeping energy high before, during and after the schools pass by.

Xande de Pilares opens on 02/13. Then come Thiago Martins (02/14), Arlindinho and Thiago Soares (02/15), Pixote (02/16) and Tiee (02/17). On the Champions’ Parade night, 02/21, Belo closes the season.

Nightly samba circles: the new project

The big novelty is the Rodas de Samba concept: traditional, informal samba circles staged nightly inside the venue. Curated by musicians Nanda Monteiro and Rodolfo Marques, partners at Grupo Confraria Carioca, the project aims to spotlight the genre’s roots and living culture.

The schedule starts on 02/13 with Quintal da Lapa hosting Grupo Confraria Carioca. On 02/14, Quadra do Cardosão hosts Samba da Alvorada; and on 02/15, Samba dos Guimarães shares the night with Grupo Confraria Carioca.

On 02/16, Samba do JB invites Casa de Marimbondo. On 02/17, Samba Redentor invites Grupo Confraria Carioca. Finally, on 02/21, Base do Samba welcomes Grupo S.E.R. – Samba Enredo de Raiz, featuring Pit de Menezes (Imperatriz Leopoldinense), Dowglas Diniz (Mangueira), Evandro Malandro (Acadêmicos do Grande Rio), Emerson Dias (Unidos de Niterói) and Igor Sorriso (Salgueiro).
