other blocos das piranhas in rio are the bloco das piranhas do jeffinho (pedra de guaratiba), bloco das piranhas do são roque (são cristóvão), and the bloco das piranhas da senador nabuco (vila isabel).

outside carnival, the tradition continues and is very popular at praia de icaraí, in niterói, where every 31st of december around 3 pm, the parade walks down along the beach.

the party of 2014 saw for the 17th time transsexual actress fabiana brazil serve as godmother of bloco das piranhas, presiding the crowds atop of a parade float and spreading a message of love and peace as a farewell to 2013.
