Samba School (part of the Imagine carnival weekend)

The Samba School is bringing a Rio style carnival parade to the streets of Liverpool on Saturday night August 2nd 2008 as part of the Carnival Weekend.

Groups from across the UK, Europe and Brazil will take part, with Liverpool people, parading and taking centre stage in a glittering sea of colour, magical floats, costumes, theatre and live music.

The parade will end in the independent district with an outdoor music festival until the early hours. A year in the making, the carnival project involved groups, businesses and volunteers working with national and international artists to produce a mini version of Rio’s “greatest show on earth” in the heart of our city to celebrate out year as Capital of Culture.
