What's open on Carnival in Brasilia?

Carnival is Brazil’s biggest party. Banks and government offices close for the four-day blowout; supermarkets and pharmacies stay open, and city-centre shops often close while beach areas trade. In Brasilia, city-centre venues are most likely to deviate from national patterns — check individual branches.
