Olinda's Carnival
The Carnival of Olinda began in the early twentieth century. This
preserves the most ancient carnival traditions of Pernambuco’s revelry. Every
year, there are parades through the streets and lanes of the city of Olinda with
hundreds of carnival groups, tourists and the local community, which keeps the
roots of the most popular festival in Brazil. This cultural event reflects the
mix of customs and traditions among whites, blacks and Indians, which was the
