Brazilian Carnaval

The color and excitement of Brazil will be no further away than the shores of Mission Bay this summer, when the Bahia Resort Hotel showcases the food, music and dances of Brazil with its new special event, the Brazilian Carnaval. The extravaganza, which promises to be a feast for the senses, will kick off on Thursday, June 26 and will run every Thursday evening, 6:00 to 9:00 PM, through August 28. Guests will be greeted with the traditional cocktail beverage of Brazil, the Caipirinha. An authentic Brazilian buffet will feature such specialties as the traditional Picanha Churrasco (skewered beef barbecued with special seasonings), calamari salad, Brazilian rice, beer-marinated chicken and other regional specialties. Flan, tropical fruit, and assorted traditional pastries will end the feast on a sweet Brazilian note. After dinner, guests will thrill to a traditional Brazilian Carnaval show featuring high-energy music, dancers and musicians in colorful costumes–plus an authentic fire dance performance. Hotel Guest: $45/ Child 5-12 $17. Non-Hotel Guest $64/Child 5-12 $29. Children under 5 are free!
