File: Members of a street carnival group perform in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.SAO PAULO - , the Brazilian cities said.

Raucous street celebrations associated with one of the world's biggest parties have already been cancelled altogether for the second year in a row.The part being postponed now, which is better known, are processions of floats and dancers from famous schools of samba, which work for months fashioning colorful costumes by hand and rehearsing musical numbers.
