Arapongas celebrates 79th anniversary with ExpoArapongas 2026

The ExpoArapongas 2026 festival opened at the Expoara Centro de Eventos to celebrate the 79th anniversary of Arapongas. The opening night featured performances by local artists, Elis Justi, and the duo US Agroboys.

A headline performance by Ana Castela drew thousands of attendees. Her set was moved earlier than scheduled to accommodate a large number of children in the audience. The event continues through Sunday, with scheduled performances by Turma do Pagode, Marcos & Belutti, and Luan Pereira.

Admission to the festival is granted through the donation of one kilogram of non-perishable food, which will be used to create food baskets for local families and charitable organizations.
