People wait for the start of the official ceremony that kicks off Carnival at the Sambadrome in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Friday, Feb. 24, 2017. The world's most famous Carnival bash began in a strange way: after a day in silence, evangelical Mayor Marcelo Crivella delayed the traditionally opulent starting ceremony until 8:30 p.m. only to skip it with the excuse that his wife was sick.
