Carnaval Brasileiro
One of the biggest carnivals staged outside Brazil, and
undoubtedly Austin's biggest party, is the euphoric Carnaval
Brasiliero, a tradition in the city every February since it was
started on a small scale in 1975 by a group of home-sick Brazilian
students at the local university. Carnaval was adopted
enthusiastically by Austinites and today the crowds pack into the
Palmer Events Centre to samba, march and drum the cold winter night
away.
