The city’s holiday programme continued on 6 August, with the Seinfra agency extending its “tapa‑buraco” operation to 49 neighbourhoods. Crews used a technology‑equipped vehicle to locate potholes and also repaired drainage lines, building on the 42‑neighbourhood effort carried out on the 5th anniversary.

Essential municipal services stayed open. Hospitals Santa Isabel, Valentina and the Mangabeira complex, together with the 24‑hour SAMU, provided care, while the two mobile vaccination points at Shopping Sul and Home Center Ferreira Costa remained active. The cleaning agency Emlur kept waste collection, street sweeping and avenue cleaning on schedule, and traffic agents from Semob‑JP managed flow during the festivities.

The dengue‑vaccination campaign, overseen by immunisation chief Fernando Virgolino, reported a cumulative 42 594 doses administered to children aged 10‑14, including 5 802 doses in 2026, stressing the two‑dose regimen and complementary mosquito‑control measures.

Cultural life persisted with the Festa das Neves; street‑food vendor “maçã do amor” sold about 1 000 apples at R$5 each, supporting dozens of families. The celebrations on 5 August featured performances by Fábio Jr., Roupa Nova, the municipal dance company and the Banda 5 de Agosto, drawing thousands of residents and tourists.
