It's carnival (狂欢节) time! The Rio Carnival in Brazil (巴西) is called "the greatest show on Earth". It attracts (吸引) over one million visitors from around the world every year. The carnival takes place in February or March. It usually lasts for five days, but many locals (当地人) go on celebrating for a few more days. The event is a mix of music, dance, food and parades (巡游). The most famous dance is, of course, samba, a traditional Brazilian dance. People usually dress up in colourful and beautiful costumes.
The longest carnival in the world takes place in Montevideo, Uruguay (乌拉圭). It usually lasts for over 40 days, from late January to early March.

It is still an event for locals and by locals.
