Samba Festival in Coburg – The Little Rio!

Always on the second weekend in July, Coburg turns into a small Rio de Janeiro. Samba groups from all over the world appear in the streets and squares around Coburg’s city center. Once a crazy idea, the samba festival is today the largest outside of Brazil. Around 3,000 sambistas, some of them big names from the cradle of samba in Brazil, celebrities and last but not least the unique flair in the heart of Coburg ensure that the samba festival is now known far beyond the borders of Germany.

Suggested Programme

Day 1

Arrival in your booked hotel. Dinner in the hotel.

Day 2

After breakfast you make your way to little Rio – to Coburg! “Dance Samba with me …” from 10:00 to 24:00 on all stages in the city center. Experience spirited dancers, colorful costumes, imaginative shows, workshops and capoeira and beauty contest. In the evening, top groups perform on all main stages and from 23:30 a samba night expects you until the early morning hours. With the ribbon, you have the opportunity to experience all shows on all stages open-air and indoor. Of course also the hot samba night in the Kongresshaus.

Day 3

After a leisurely Sunday breakfast, you have the opportunity to participate in the openair worship in the market square of Coburg and as a highlight of the festival you can watch the colorful Samba procession through the alleys and streets of Coburg (tickets available for an extra charge). As an alternative we can offer a guide tour in the Veste Coburg, a Castle also known as the “Franconian Crown”. It still dominates the surrounding countryside and is one of the largest and most attractive fortresses in Germany. Another possibility would be a visit of the “Bratwurst Museum”, where you can learn everything about the delicious German sausages.
