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,~~ 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 ~~included parades~~ are free to the public and ~~musical accompaniment~~ are integrated ~~with~~ into local religious festivities, such as the feast of Nossa Senhora da Penha de ~~França, while the celebrations in Pilar de Goiás featured traditional groups parading through the streets as part of the Festa da Padroeira~~ França and Nossa Senhora do Pilar.
