Festival
Since 1956, the Festival has brought together various cultural manifestations from the capital and the interior of Amazonas to remember the values, to honor the beliefs, the legends, and the customs, under the influence and the characteristics of the Portuguese, indigenous, and northeastern cultures, besides nature and mysticism.
The Festival has become a representative event of the folklore in the state, keeping the characteristic of being eminently popular with the rescue of the June festivities, the regionalism of the quadrilhas and cirandas, the originality of the indigenous rituals, the presentation of the Bumbás and the beauty of the traditional dances and their players.
