Série Ouro represents the official opening of Rio Carnival's most prestigious parades, organized by LigaRJ. It features the rising stars of Rio's samba schools, each bringing months of creativity, dedication, and authentic samba energy to the Sambadrome. These are the schools competing for the title, and Série Ouro showcases their most authentic performances across two unforgettable nights: February 5 & 6, 2027.
Absolutely. Série Ouro offers an intimate, emotional, and deeply authentic Carnival experience that you won't find anywhere else. Série Ouro connects you directly to the heart of Rio's samba culture and its communities. You'll experience raw samba energy, genuine human connection, and the pure passion of the schools competing for the title. With ticket options starting from just US$20, it's an exceptional value for a premium Carnival experience that truly captures the spirit of Rio.
The atmosphere at Série Ouro is warm, joyful, and deeply local — filled with the contagious energy of singing crowds, thundering drums, and unforgettable performances. You'll be surrounded by authentic samba culture, with genuine emotion and community spirit at every moment. The crowds are enthusiastic and welcoming, creating an intimate connection between the schools and the audience. It's raw, passionate, and electric — a true celebration of Rio's samba heritage that will stay with you long after the night ends.
The choice depends on what matters most to you: Grandstands (From the US$20's) offer authentic Carnival atmosphere and panoramic views with open seating across Sectors 2–11. Allocated Chairs (From the $80's) provide comfort with organized, theater-style seating and a clear view of the runway. Front Box (From US$150's) puts you right at runway level to feel the drums and see every costume detail. All-Inclusive Camarates (From US$300's) offer the ultimate experience with luxury seating, VIP transportation, premium open bar, gourmet food, live entertainment, and exclusive lounge access.
Getting to Série Ouro is simple and well-supported. Ticket Packages to the even side include subway passes which provides a fast and secure access during Carnival. For those with a odd sided sector, we reccomend Rideshare or Taxi. All-Inclusive Camarote guests have VIP round-trip transportation included with their ticket. All transportation options are designed to get you to the Sambadrome safely and on time.
Wear comfortable, festive attire that lets you enjoy the celebration. Light, breathable fabrics are ideal since you'll be sitting for several hours. Embrace the Carnival energy with colorful, celebratory clothing, and wear comfortable shoes as you may need to walk to your seating area. February in Rio is summer, so bring sunscreen and consider a light layer for the evening. Important: VERY IMPORTANT: All-inclusive camarote guests must wear the official Série Ouro T-shirt provided with your ticket — this is mandatory and part of the experience, as it identifies you as a camarote guest and ensures access to all exclusive amenities and areas.
