In August 2026, various cultural and entrepreneurial events focused on Afro-Brazilian heritage were organized across Brazil.
Afropunk Brazil announced an expansion of its Experience events to Rio de Janeiro, Recife, and Salvador. The festival rollout included ticket sales for the Rio de Janeiro event at Terreirão do Samba and the Recife edition at the Federal University of Pernambuco, with the main festival scheduled for Salvador in November. Organizers anticipated a 15–20% increase in audience and economic impact compared to 2025.
Simultaneously, the 5th Expo Preta RioMar was scheduled to take place in Recife from August 13 to 16. Organized by the Instituto JCPM de Compromisso Social in partnership with RioMar Recife, the fair aimed to showcase Afro-entrepreneurship in Pernambuco through 20 brands spanning sectors such as fashion, beauty, art, and gastronomy.
