Brazil glitzy Carnival is back in full form after pandemic

A Brazil Carnival is back. Glittery and outrageous costumes were prepared again. Samba songs were ringing out 'til dawn at a Rio de Janeiro sold-out parade grounds. Hundreds of raucous, roaming parties were flooding the streets. And working-class communities were buoyed, emotionally and economically, by the renewed revelry. The COVID-19 pandemic last year prompted Rio to delay Carnival by two months, and watered-down some of the fun, which was attended by mostly locals. This year, the federal government expects 46 million people to join festivities that officially begin Friday and run through Feb. 22.
