Preparations for the Círio de Nazaré 2026 festivities in Belém have commenced, focusing on safety and logistical organization. 

In mid-August, the Municipal Civil Defense of Belém opened volunteer registration to provide first aid, operational support, and emergency assistance. Selected volunteers are scheduled to undergo training in firefighting, accident prevention, and emergency response.

Concurrently, the Guarda de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré and the Diretoria da Festa de Nazaré (DFN) have initiated technical preparations. These activities include training sessions for personnel regarding rope management and station operations for the Trasladação and Círio processions. Technical teams are also conducting inspections of metal structures at rope stations to identify required repairs ahead of the events scheduled for the second weekend of October.
