Join us for the 14th Annual Catkins Ball, Saturday, April 29th, by wearing White Rio Style to commemorate this year’s theme, “Rio in White.” The theme represents one of the most phenomenal elements of the New Year’s celebration in Rio de Janeiro. At the annual event, every single person honors the tradition of wearing white, symbolizing peace and spiritual purification, which makes one feel a sense of unity with the other celebrants. The sea of people dressed in white is a spectacular sight and unites the diverse crowd gathered on all of the beaches.
