Street Parties in Rio de Janeiro

The Street Parties in Rio de Janeiro is one of the best things this city has to offer. It“s for free, it“s fun and it“s a little bit crazy. There are street vendors all over the place assuring a steady supply of fuel (beer and drinks). Not all of these parties are good though, especially during Carnival some of them can get painfully crowded, go to my Carnival Section to read more about that. What I“m gonna talk about here is the parties that are all year round. Since it“s outside rain will of course more or less automatically cancel the Also be a bit careful in these crowds, I for one would never bring a camera with me. I have listed some of the parties below:

The Street party in Lapa

Close to the aqueduct every Friday and Saturday (when it“s not raining!) there is a informal street party. Street vendors make sure that no throat runs dry, young people gather on Avenida Mem de Sį and the small street that leads to the famous stairs of Lapa called Rua Joaquim Silva map. Many small bars and clubs are offering music in various forms, everything is cheap and it“s crowded. It“s nicer earlier on since the huge male over representation turns a bit hectic with the intake of alcohol. I prefer to hang out in the outskirts of the actual street where it“s more relaxed.

Streetparty in Gįvea

Best days are Sunday, Monday and Thursday when students from the university PUC gather in front of the bar Hipódromo, Praēa Santos Dumont 108 in Gįvea map. There“s music and a quite dense crowd. Same as above: Rain = No party
