Liverpool will host Britain’s biggest Brazilian-style carnival this summer as the much-loved Brazilica Festival returns with a spectacular street parade on Saturday 6 August.

The event is a dazzling array of music, colour and dance which first began in 2008 when Liverpool was awarded European Capital of Culture.

A Rio-style carnival parade was organised to honour the title and it was such a success that it became a regular feature in the cultural calendar.

2022 will be the twelfth edition of Brazilica Festival and while the event may have moved from July to August, the main carnival will take its usual route through the city centre. Starting at The Cambridge Pub at 7.30pm, the parade will move off from Abercromby Square and wind along Hope Street, Hardman Street, Bold Street, and Church Street, before finishing in Williamson Square. 

The legendary after-party has already been confirmed at District in the Baltic Triangle, with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.

This is FREE event.
