On the Wednesday following the parade, the winners are announced in a tense live TV event
as the judges scores are announced one by one until the winner is crowned champion.
The following Saturday the six top scoring schools return to the Sambadrome for a celebratory
champion’s parade, culminating with the winning school in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The champions parade is a true celebration, the energy of the winning schools fans as they
scream out the name of their chosen school, many tears are shed as at the end of an
emotional night as Samba fans across Brazil say goodbye to Carnival for another year.
