Is Candlelight Disney Love Songs worth attending?
It has a more family-friendly and nostalgic feel than other Candlelight concerts. The minimum age of 5 makes it suitable for a wider audience, and the performances at the Museum of Tomorrow make it easy to plan a day exploring the port area before the show.
Important note: Fever states that it does not allow entry after the performance begins. The doors open 45 minutes before the show. Since seats are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis within each zone, arriving early also gives you more seating options.
Date and time
- September 26: performances at 6 p.m. and 8 p.m.
- October 30: performance at 8 p.m.
Fever states that the doors open 45 minutes before the show.

Tickets: zones, categories and arrival
Fever organizes the audience into zones. Your ticket grants access to the selected zone, but seats within it are occupied on a first-come, first-served basis.
Fever offers different zones and ticket categories, and some combinations may sell out before others. Check the performance time and zone before paying.
Before completing your purchase, check the date, time, zone, ticket category and documentation required for discounted admission where applicable.
How to get to the Museum of Tomorrow
The Museum of Tomorrow is located at Praça Mauá, 1, in Centro. For public transportation, the museum itself recommends the VLT Line 1 and getting off at Parada dos Museus, about 200 meters from the entrance.
VLT
This is the most direct way to reach Praça Mauá. Parada dos Museus is close to the entrance and minimizes walking, which is especially useful at night.
Metro
The Uruguaiana station is the one recommended by the Museum of Tomorrow. From there, you can walk toward Praça Mauá or combine the journey with the VLT.
Train and ferries
If you arrive at Central do Brasil, you can connect to the VLT; from the ferry terminal at Praça XV, you can continue on foot or by public transportation.
Car
The Museum of Tomorrow states that it does not have its own parking lot. There are private parking facilities nearby, and the museum lists RB1, on Avenida Rio Branco, as a nearby option.

Safety tips
Praça Mauá sees a steady flow of tourists, workers and event attendees. Even so, planning looks quite different for an early-evening performance and a nighttime departure.
- Plan your return journey before going inside. For later performances, know whether you will use the VLT, a taxi or a ride-hailing app.
- Avoid standing still with your phone in plain sight while deciding on a route or requesting a car.
- Wait in busy areas when using a ride-hailing app, and check the license plate and driver’s details before getting in.
- Don’t improvise long walks at night if you are unfamiliar with Centro; choose a simple, direct route instead.
- If you are traveling in a group, agree on a meeting point for after the show.

Practical tips for making the most of your visit
| Tip | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Arrive early | Entry is not allowed after the performance begins, and seats are not numbered within the zone. |
| Check your ticket on your phone before leaving | This saves you from having to search for an email or open an app at the door. |
| Plan your return journey | Especially important for nighttime performances. |
| Bring a light jacket | Enclosed spaces can have strong air conditioning. |
| Confirm accessibility | If you have specific requirements, confirm the zone and seating arrangements before purchasing. |
Things to do nearby
Rio Art Museum (MAR)
It is located right on Praça Mauá and pairs particularly well with early-evening performances. See our Rio Art Museum guide.
Touring Building
This is a convenient option for eating before or after the show without leaving the port area. See the Touring Building guide and our overview of Touring restaurants and prices.
Olympic Boulevard
If you arrive early, it’s worth walking along the waterfront and through the port area. To expand your itinerary, see things to do in Rio de Janeiro.
Where to stay
If the event is part of a trip to Rio, I wouldn’t choose a hotel based solely on its distance from Praça Mauá. Centro, Flamengo, Botafogo and Copacabana can work differently depending on the rest of your itinerary.
Before booking, see our guide to where to stay in Rio de Janeiro.
