What is the Parintins Festival?
Parintins is a charming town located about 400 km east of Manaus, nestled on the right bank of the Amazon River. This town is renowned for hosting the vibrant and colorful Parintins Folklore Festival, also known as the Festival do Boi-Bumbá.
Held annually during the last weekend of June, this festival is one of the most famous folk celebrations in Brazil, second only to the Carnival in Rio de Janeiro and Salvador.
The festival is a spectacular competition between two teams, Garantido and Caprichoso, who perform elaborate retellings of a local legend about a resurrected ox.
The performances are a dazzling display of dance, music, and parade floats, deeply rooted in Amazonian folklore and indigenous culture. The event takes place in the Bumbódromo, a round stage that can accommodate up to 35,000 spectators.
The Parintins Folklore Festival is one of Brazil’s most extraordinary cultural celebrations. Every year in late June, the island of Parintins becomes the stage for a breathtaking artistic competition between two teams that bring Amazonian legends, indigenous rituals, music, dance, and massive floats to life.
It is considered:
-
The largest open-air show in Latin America
-
A cultural immersion into Amazonian identity
-
A unique blend of folklore, theater, music, and technology
-
A once-in-a-lifetime experience for international travelers
Each night features a completely different performance — nothing is repeated — making the festival a true three-night spectacle.
