A tradition postponed but perpetuated

From 16 to 29 April, the Distrito Anhembi‘ Sambadrome, now called the "Passarela Cultural" (Cultural Walkway) hosted the Sao Paulo Carnival, as it does every year. 
Today, the carnival is one of the Sambadrome's key shows. It usually takes place during the month of February but had to be postponed this year due to the health context.
