Burning Man lands in Brazil for the first time at Camarote Alma Rio, blending immersive art and samba on Champions’ Parade night, February 21 at Sapucaí.
Burning Man meets Carnival magic
Camarote Alma Rio hosts an official Burning Man experience by MAXA. For nine years, this project has crafted immersive worlds in Nevada’s desert through art, music, and collective creation.
On February 21, nature-inspired sets, collaborative performances, and evolving beats bridge Burning Man’s participatory spirit with Rio’s vibrant spectacle.
Rio de Janeiro, and especially its Carnival, is a true gift to the heart. Brazilian culture fully embraces life through music, colors, movement, and joy. Beyond the visual beauty and majestic scenery, what stands out most is the strong sense of unity and cultural pride that honors the roots and struggles of past and present generations. These struggles fuel the need to celebrate through fantasy and intense expression, making Carnival one of the world’s greatest human art spectacles.
Spotlight on Fundo de Quintal, samba legends, immersed in the Burning Man vibe. Attendees co-create the atmosphere and human connections.
