PARTY:
Mardi Gras @ Morro da Urca (Urca) – At Carnival 2019, Mardi Gras will take over one of the biggest tourist attractions in the world. And from there they will build a party that will go beyond the wildest expectations. It has been sold out in the last eight years and this time will prove to be no different. Costumes are mandatory!
For drinks, there will be a premium open bar featuring such brands as Cîroc, Johnnie Walker Red Label, Tanqueray, Jagermeister and much more. Plus there will be prizes for the best costumes, including: best costume, best couple, funniest, scariest, best group, sexiest – and for those who are too lazy to dress-up, be warned, there will also be an award for worst costume. The party will also feature a roster of top DJs to keep things going until breakfast time.
Tickets are available from R$470 and the night should kick off at around 10PM.
