Mossoró Sal & Luz gospel festival kicks off in Rio Grande do Norte

The Mossoró Sal & Luz 2026 gospel festival began on July 15 in Mossoró, Rio Grande do Norte, running for five days and drawing thousands of visitors from across Brazil. The program features nationally‑known artists such as Aline Barros and Thalles Roberto, alongside regional performers, and includes family‑friendly activities, a dedicated inclusion lounge for people with disabilities, and a kids’ zone.

Organizers say the event boosts the local economy, increasing demand for hotels, restaurants, and services, and reinforces Mossoró’s reputation as a major cultural destination in the Northeast. The festival’s broader appeal now reaches audiences of various faiths and those without religious affiliation.
