Expofeira 2026: Livestock, culture, and social initiatives

Overview

The 47th Expofeira (6–13 September) at the João Martins da Silva Exhibition Park featured a diverse program of cultural, agricultural, and social initiatives. Early highlights included the ‘Garota Country’ contest, won by Maria Lúcia Longuinho, and various musical and religious performances. Livestock and sporting attractions, such as the 1,200 kg Tabanel bull ‘Modelo’, rodeo performances, and equestrian breed judgments, remained central to the event.

Social and environmental projects were integrated throughout the fair. Through the ‘Cuidar Até o Fim’ project, patients from Santa Casa de Feira de Santana participated in guided visits to the park to provide emotional support for those with serious illnesses. Environmental sustainability was managed via a partnership between recycling collectives ‘Ginga Recicla’ and ‘Rede Sol’, led by Cláudio Borges, which diverted recyclable materials from landfills while providing income to vulnerable workers.

The event concluded with high transit usage, highlighted by the free ‘Expresso Expofeira’ shuttle service, which transported 32,359 passengers using a fleet of 30 vehicles. To manage traffic, the municipal government directed private vehicles through Avenida Noide Cerqueira due to Federal Highway Police restrictions on the BR-324 highway. Mayor José Ronaldo de Carvalho described the edition as a major success, noting that the use of a private parking area at a former ceramics site helped alleviate congestion. For Expofeira 2027, the city administration plans to evaluate improvements to access routes via Noide Cerqueira.
