Silver Series parades in Rio change address and now have cabins

The traditional carnival parades on Estrada Intendente Magalhães, in the neighborhood of Oswaldo Cruz, in the north of the city, which receives schools from the Evaluation Group and the Silver and Bronze Series — former access groups C, D and E — take place, starting this Sunday (19), in a new location: Avenida Ernani Cardoso, in Cascadura, also in the north zone. The infrastructure was modernized and reinforced, with a lounge (a space reserved for waiting or resting), cabins, boxes, a food court and capacity for 5,000 people. The associations now have a walkway 400 meters (m) long and an 8m wide space to present their plot, which allows for an increase in the number of members in the wards, in addition to larger floats. Historical address of the carioca revelry, the parades on Estrada Intendente Magalhães carried a “what” of root carnival. In the absence of political and financial power, many associations find a way “in love” to fulfill the mission of making the avenue beautiful, from not very well-known schools doing their job to old acquaintances hanging out on the avenue. In all, 73 associations will pass through Nova Intendente. Of this total, 19 schools are part of the Evaluation Group; 22, the Bronze Series; and 32, the Silver Series. The parades, which serve as the basis for the Golden Series and for the Special Group, will be held this Sunday (19), by the schools of the Evaluation Group; and, on Monday (20) and Tuesday (21), by the Bronze Series associations. Next week, on Friday (24) and Saturday (25), the Silver Series schools will parade. Among passistas, percussionists, support staff and the general public, it is estimated that around 200,000 people will participate in this year’s parades. There will be five days of music and samba on foot, and admission is free. Transmission According to the Superliga Carnavalesca, TV Brasil broadcasts throughout the country the parades of the 32 samba schools of the Silver Series, which this year will give, exceptionally, three spots for access to the Gold Series. The parades will also be shown on TV Alerj, which has a signal restricted to Rio de Janeiro.
