To provide you with the best coverage on YouTube of Rio Carnival 2015, Paul Hodge arrived in Rio on February 5, 2015 so he could cover the seldom seen events leading up to the official Rio Carnival Celebration. By tradition, on the weekend before Rio Carnival, many Rio neighborhoods host Bloco (block) parties to celebrate the coming of Rio Carnival. During Carnival, there are over 400 official Bloco parties. On Saturday & Sunday, February 7 & 8, 2015, Paul covered four Bloco parties in diverse Rio neighborhoods.

Over 400,000+ celebrants partied !! According to edited excerpts from a February 9, 2015, Rio Times article by Jay Forte: Of the 456 licensed blocos in Rio, 111 happened this last weekend (February 7 & 8th) drawing 800,000+ celebrants into the revelry. Most of the authorized blocos this last weekend were concentrated in the Zona Sul (South Zone) and Zona Norte (North Zone), where about thirty were held in each. Since 2012 the city has made an effort to distribute the blocos more evenly around the city, slowly moving more from Zona Sul to other areas.
