In South America, Rio de Janeiro has turned into a fairyland for children. A huge carnival is underway in the Brazilian city to entertain local residents and tourists.
The kids' carnival is dominated by youth. Some stick to conventional entertainment like shooting hoops, blowing balloons, and angling for fish. Others like to try something more challenging -- like cowboy stunts. And after an exhausting round of exercise, they can stuff their faces at the sausage, barbecue. Fruit juice is available at the ubiquitous food stands.
In Brazil, June brings the corn harvest. It's an occasion for celebration. People dress in the rustic attire of country folk and sing and dance around camp fires all night. For the children's carnival, face painting is a big deal.
The kids' carnival is also fun for adults. At nightfall, outdoor dance parties get rolling. Cartoon characters lead the way as children and adults enjoy an evening of family entertainment. The carnival is a major event in the city. More than 30,000 people attended the three day festival this year.
