São Paulo City Hall releases preliminary list of street blocks for Carnival 2023

The Carnival of São Paulo 2023, the first edition of the party in the capital of São Paulo since the beginning of the pandemic, already has a date to take place. The pre-Carnival will be on the 11th and 12th of February, while the party itself will be between the 18th and 21st of February. The revelry in the post will be on the 25th and 26th of February.

The preliminary list of blocks confirmed to parade on these dates was published in the Official Gazette of the Municipality last Saturday (07). As the list has not yet been completed, it will undergo changes and, at the moment, it has only 242 shows from different blocks confirmed. Another 39 parades that were requested were cancelled.

Among the highlights are blocks by artists such as Alceu Valença, Michel Teló, Pabllo Vittar, Lexa, Parangolé and Daniela Mercury. Other highlights are the Academic blocks of Baixo Augusta, Sargento Pimenta and Monobloco.

According to the rules guide for the revelry, released by the municipal body in November 2022, the closure of the block parties and the shutdown of the electric trios must be done by 6 pm. In this way, according to the city hall, the dispersion of the public should occur until 19h.
