Goiânia is celebrating its 93rd anniversary through the Festival Viva Goiânia, a decentralized series of cultural, musical, and urban events. The festival features over 230 free attractions, including musical performances by artists such as Seu Jorge, Murilo Huff, Zeca Baleiro, and Sandra Sá. Central festivities are concentrated on Avenida Goiás and the Estação Ferroviária, featuring themed stages for samba, forró, MPB, gospel, and rock tributes. The celebration also incorporates street races, cycling tours, boxing, capoeira, circus arts, and urban culture activities like rap battles and skate workshops. In addition to the cultural program, the city is hosting the 6th edition of the IberLeague Goiás from October 9 to 12. This sporting event at the Atlanta SAF training center is expected to host over 1,500 youth athletes from 110 teams as part of the international Iber Global Group circuit. Economically, Goiânia remains the largest capital in the state of Goiás, with a reported GDP of R$75.8 billion in 2023, accounting for 22.5% of the state's total wealth. The capital is also evolving into a recognized regional fashion center. To support long-term growth, Governor Daniel Vilela has highlighted R$3.8 billion in state investments intended to modernize the capital, specifically targeting public ~~transport~~ transport, public safety, and ~~security in~~ healthcare infrastructure—including the new Oncology Reference Complex (Cora)—in preparation for the city's ~~centenary.~~ centenary in 2033. Demographic data shows the city has reached a population of approximately 1.4 to 1.5 million residents. While the urban area is recognized for its Art Déco architecture and extensive greenery, researchers continue to monitor challenges regarding spatial segregation and urban inequality.
