The Parintins Festival, one of the largest folklore spectacles in Brazil, is a celebration that transcends the borders of the Amazon and enchants the entire world. Held annually in the city of Parintins, this unique event is a true spectacle of colors, sounds and emotions, bringing together thousands of people around an ancient tradition.

The Origin of the Festival

The history of the Parintins Festival dates back to colonial times, when the indigenous people of the region held celebrations in honor of animals and nature. With the arrival of the Europeans, these events began to change, giving rise to the boi-bumbá, a theatrical representation that tells the legend of an ox that comes back to life.

In the 20th century, the boi-bumbá festivities gained momentum in Parintins, and in 1965, a group of young idealists decided to organize a festival to raise funds for the construction of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. From then on, the festival grew and became established, becoming one of the largest cultural events in the country.

The Oxen Dispute

The highlight of the Parintins Festival is the competition between the two most famous bois-bumbás in Brazil: the Garantido and the Caprichoso. Each of them represents a cultural group that is dedicated to preparing a grand spectacle, with floats, music, dances and an engaging narrative.

The red Boi Garantido is known for its strength and tradition. The blue Boi Caprichoso is famous for its innovation and irreverence. The rivalry between the two oxen is fierce, but marked by great mutual respect, creating a unique atmosphere of competition and camaraderie.

A Cultural Heritage

The Parintins Festival is much more than just a popular festival. It is an expression of Amazonian culture, a reflection of the identity of a people and a cultural heritage of Brazil. Each year, the festival reinvents itself, surprising the public with new creations and reaffirming its importance for the preservation of popular traditions.

Long live Amazonian culture! Long live the Parintins Festival!
