Brazilica 2014 is alive and kicking and this Friday 18th July, the ever popular Carnival Queen Competition will heat up the already sizzling summer festival. Brazilian dancers from far and wide will battle for samba supremacy at the 2014 Brazilica Carnival Queen Competition which this year takes place at Liverpool’s spectacular Alma de Cuba Bar on Seel Street from 9pm.

The competition – which the public are invited to attend, will warm the city up for the main Brazilica Carnival Day which takes over Liverpool City Centre the following day, Saturday 19th July for a magnificent colourful spectacle of Brazilian music, dance and culture.

The panel of judges will be hard pressed to pick a winner from Friday evenings line-up, which will see each dancer showcase their best routine, most dazzling costume, and of course their sparkling personality and energy. Contestants have come from far and wide to compete in the battle for this year’s title including Poland, Mexico and Brazil as well as local talent from Preston and Liverpool.
