The wildest party of the year is coming to a close.
Hundreds of thousands of revelers flocked to Rio de Janeiro for its world-famous Carnival celebration this month, which culminated in a raucous multi-day parade in the Sambadrome.
During the procession, 13 samba schools put on shows featuring music, dancing, and larger-than-life costumes and floats. The parade is a vivid display of Rio's color and culture.
Official Carnival ceremonies wrapped up on Tuesday, although the lavish partying will continue in Rio's streets through the weekend.
