In late July 2026 a series of cultural programmes unfolded across Brazil, featuring chamber concerts, literary talks, theater shows and community festivals in cities such as Mossoró, Natal, Rio de Janeiro, Petrópolis, Porto Alegre and Minas Gerais. These events highlighted both classical music initiatives and contemporary Brazilian authors, with free‑entry performances and workshops aimed at broad public participation. By early August 2026 the focus shifted to the capital, where the 7th Feira do Cordel Brasileiro opened at Caixa Cultural Brasília. The fair, running through 2 May, showcased traditional cordel literature with concerts, lectures, exhibitions and book launches, reinforcing cordel’s status as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil.
