Salvador's Carnaval became the most popular festival in Brazil, surpassing the one in Rio. The six-day-long street party attracts an estimated 2 million people. More than 160 groups parade on different locations and everyone is welcome to join in. But Carnaval is just the beginning. There's the Lavagens, the Yemanjá festival, the pre-Carnaval. Salvadorenses are always inventing an excuse for having a party.

Whew!
