Parintins, Brazil
The Boi Bumba is the second largest festival in Brazil after Rio's Carnival. The event has become a competition between two Boi (meaning "ox") teams. The Caprichoso team is represented by blue and the Garantido represented by red. Half the city literally sports red and the other half blue. Every citizen is fiercely loyal to either the red or blue team. Even the Coca Cola signs are blue on the blue side of town. There are dazzling parades with elaborate floats.
