The Sambadrome hosts the parades for the Special Group, the Champions Parade, the Access or Gold Group.

There are hundreds of dances and balls during Rio Carnival. Some of the favorite balls that are taking place during the week include the Magic Ball, Ball Masque, Scala Balls, Mangueira Carnival Ball, Cordao do Bola Preta Ball, City Ball, Beer Ball and the Gay Costume Ball. Also on the schedule for 2014 are dance hall nights where the samba schools rehearse their routines. Street bands and street parties also take place during the Carnival week.
