The parade will include seven samba schools from different cities of Finland, as well as other performing groups, a total of over 1,000 dancers and musicians.

Brazilian samba colleagues have told that the style of Helsinki Samba Caranaval corresponds to the Rio Carnival, only the scale is smaller. And it is a good thing, because you can see everything very close and free!
