After counting the votes, and defining the great champion of Carnival in Rio de Janeiro, the six best samba schools prepare to return to the Sambadrome the following Saturday, for the Parade of Champions.

The Parade of Champions is as electrifying as those on Sunday and Monday, and school members are proud, excited and more relaxed, celebrating and seeing their work recognized. The Sambódromo is full of spectators who want to samba for the last time of the season.

The presentations start at 9:15 pm, and schools parade in descending order, culminating in the grand parade of the champion, already in the early hours of Sunday.
