Brazilian municipalities open registrations for Christmas festivities

Municipalities in Brazil are organizing local Christmas festivities through various registration programs for artisans and cultural institutions.

In Poços de Caldas, the Municipal Tourism Secretariat has opened registrations for artisans to participate in ‘Natal Poços de Luz’. Five artisans will be selected to exhibit and sell handmade products, such as weaving, embroidery, wood art, and food, in traditional wooden houses from November 6, 2026, to January 10, 2027. Applications are free and must be submitted by September 11.

Meanwhile, Maringá has opened registrations for the ‘Maringá Encantada 2026’ official calendar. Companies, NGOs, churches, and cultural groups can register activities such as musical performances, nativity scenes, plays, and dance shows. The initiative aims to centralize the city's holiday programming into a single calendar to facilitate access for residents and visitors. Registrations are open until September 30 via an online form.
