on the other hand, costumes needed for blocos and street parties can be bought in a variety of locations, with some basic items available from street vendors right at the location of the street party - while most visitors will not participate in street parties dressed in elaborate costumes, there are some basic items used by just anyone without a full or homemade costume that will integrate revelers in any blocos.

for men, the most popular item is a hat, which can easily be found by many street vendors and range from panama hats, to pilot, and even sailor hats - women, should look into small angel wings, multi-colored wigs, or bunny ears, all easily found in the streets. 

another great option for costume shopping is definitely the entire shopping district of saara - the neighborhood has hundreds of shops offering an endless supply of carnival accessories at truly low prices.
