The Semana Farroupilha celebrations involve the distribution of the ‘Chama Crioula’, a symbolic flame representing gaucho traditions. In Rio Grande do Sul, the flame traveled from Lagoa Bonita do Sul to Ibarama, where it was lit by local officials and placed under the care of CTG Esporta de Prata.

As the festivities expand, celebrations are organized across different regions and even internationally. In Brazil, CTG Querência Distante in Primavera do Leste has scheduled events focusing on Jesuit-Guarani heritage and traditional tournaments. In Portugal, the piquete Querência da Saudade is organizing large-scale celebrations in Vila Verde to maintain cultural ties for the diaspora, featuring the Chama Crioula and regional gastronomy.
