Activities in Feira De Santana

1. Micareta

   • Feira De Santana, Brazil
   • Activities › Event, festival

   Feira invented the now widespread concept of Micareta, an out-of-season Carnaval. In 1937 a flood caused the city's Carnaval to be celebrated late, a tradition the citizens decided to adopt and rename. In April or early May thousands of spectators fill the city to see Salvador's best trios elétricos parade for four days along with local samba schools and folklore groups. For those who missed out on Carnaval in Salvador, this could be the next best thing.
