Natal also has a big festival outside the Mardi Gras season. Called Carnatal, held in november or december, it is different from the usual Mardi Gras parades. At Carnatal, the parade is for everyone to show off, not just the samba schools.

Three kilometers of the city's streets is closed for traffic, making a circle for the prosession. A number of big trucks, each with it's own sound system and musicians, drive around the circle of streets, followed by people singing and dancing. To participate you have to buy a pass to one of the "blocos", each "blocos" has it's own truck and it's own band.
