The city of Itabuna in southern Bahia has hosted and prepared for significant cultural and economic events. Following the Ita Pedro festival, which the Municipal Tourism Council (COMTUR) identified as a major driver for the local economy, the region saw 100% occupancy in the hotel network and high demand for seasonal rentals.

Building on this cultural momentum, the Municipal Secretariat of Education organized a civic parade for Brazil’s Independence Day. The parade, themed ‘Viva o Nordeste, Coração do Brasil!’, focused on the heritage of the nine Northeast states, showcasing regional history, music, and literature to connect students with their cultural roots.
