One of the biggest carnivals staged outside Brazil, and undoubtedly Austin’s biggest party, is the euphoric Carnaval Brasiliero, a tradition in the city every February since it was started on a small scale in 1975 by a group of home-sick Brazilian students at the local university. Carnaval was adopted enthusiastically by Austinites and today the crowds pack into the Palmer Events Center to samba, march and drum the cold winter night away.
