The Cavalhadas festivities, a series of cultural and religious celebrations in the state of Goiás, continue through the 2026 Cavalhadas Circuit. These events feature reenactments of medieval battles between Moors and Christians. In mid-August, the city of Goiás hosted celebrations at the Hélio de Loyola Stadium as part of a circuit involving 16 municipalities. By early September, the festivities moved to Corumbá de Goiás and Pilar de Goiás. In Corumbá de Goiás, the event features an epic reenactment involving 24 riders, including two kings, who utilize horses, swords, spears, and blank-firing pistols. This specific tradition has a history spanning 274 years and is expected to attract over 15,000 tourists. The parade is scheduled to head toward the Campo das Cavalhadas Rei Hastimphilo. In Pilar de Goiás, presentations are held at the Homero Macedo Gomes Municipal Stadium. This reenactment is regarded as the oldest in the northern region of Goiás and serves as the origin for several other local traditions. Both the Corumbá and Pilar events are free to the public and are integrated into local religious festivities, such as the feast of Nossa Senhora da Penha de França and Nossa Senhora do Pilar. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-03: Cavalhadas traditions return to Corumbá and Pilar de Goiás The historic Cavalhadas celebrations, reenacting medieval battles between Moors and Christians, will be held this weekend in Corumbá de Goiás and Pilar de Goiás as part of a regional cultural circuit. 15 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/corumb-de-gois-and-pilar-de-gois-host-cavalhadas-celebrations ### 2026-08-13: Goiás to host traditional Cavalhadas festivities The city of Goiás will host its traditional Cavalhadas festivities this weekend, featuring cultural and religious reenactments as part of a regional circuit involving 16 municipalities. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gois-to-host-traditional-cavalhadas-festivities --- Cite as: Cavalhadas festivities in Goiás.
