The 39th edition of the Hallel festival is set to take place in Franca from September 4 to 7. The free event is expected to mobilize a significant local economy, involving sectors such as hospitality, transportation, and food services.

Organizers report that approximately 3,000 volunteers will support the event, which features over 80 attractions including musical performances, preaching, and prayer sessions. The festival will utilize 19,000 square meters of infrastructure at the Parque de Exposições Fernando Costa. Local businesses, such as the Dan Inn Franca hotel, are already seeing increased demand, with occupancy rates expected to reach 100% during the festival period.
