Brazilian cities host large cultural festivals and classic car gatherings
The second Encontro de Benzedeiras in Sapucaia do Sul drew more than 700 participants, showcasing traditional healing rituals and folk practices. Organized by the municipal Secretary of Culture and Tourism, the free event aimed to preserve the city's intangible heritage.
Separately, several classic‑vehicle events attracted sizable crowds across the state. In Campinas, the second Encontro de Carros Antigos welcomed over 7,000 visitors and displayed 1,122 historic automobiles, trucks and motorcycles as part of the city’s 252‑year anniversary celebrations. In Apucarana, about 600 vintage cars were exhibited, drawing hundreds of attendees and receiving support from the municipal government and the organizers Apucarana Antigos 43. A classic‑car sales fair is scheduled for 2 August in Mooca, São Paulo, at Garagem 55, featuring a museum, entertainment zones and entry fees of R$15 (with exemptions).
