Liverpool's Brazilica Festival takes place Friday 15th until Sunday 17th July in various city centre locations.

Programme

The three days of fiesta include:

Friday Liverpool city centre's shops and bars will play host to the 'Samba in the City' event, a colourful taster of the carnival to come, getting Liverpool in the mood to party.

Saturday will see the city come to life 'Latin style' with Brazilian and South American inspired activities taking place around Liverpool throughout the day including a FREE all day South American street party, which will see open dance classes, music sessions, street football demonstrations and workshops taking place, with Brazilian food, drink and fun for all the family available throughout the day.

The carnival steps up a gear in the evening as Liverpool's streets are set ablaze with colour and the carnival parade of over 1,000 people makes its way to the festival site, winding through the city centre streets, whilst the Brazilian bands and DJs take to the stage for the party to begin! Festivities will continue well into the evening finishing with an exciting after part event at a city centre club.

Sunday Wind down your weekend with Samba Sunday on 17th July as the carnival gets cultural with sports, film and artistic events taking place across the city.
