The Athletes' Block will continue its VIA FOLIA 2026 programming on Saturday, February 7, in João Pessoa, with renowned singer Ricardo Chaves leading the event. Known for his popularity as one of Brazil's greatest trio elétrico conductors, Chaves is expected to attract a significant crowd as the event is free and open to the public, although no merchandise will be sold for participation.

The parade will start at 7 PM at Posto 99 Shell on Avenida Epitácio Pessoa, drawing in locals and visitors alike to enjoy the vibrant Carnival atmosphere. The event will be broadcast live on Rede Paraíba, further increasing its accessibility to a broader audience who can tune in after the Big Brother Brasil (BBB) show on channel 7.1 and Globoplay, linking local culture to national entertainment.

Traffic management will be in effect on Saturday, starting at 5 PM, as certain intersections will be closed to facilitate the parade. The cut-off will affect the intersection of Avenida Epitácio Pessoa and Rua Prefeito José Leite in Miramar, with vehicles being diverted to alternate routes ensuring safety and proper flow during the festivities. The measures reflect a commitment to manage large public gatherings effectively during the festive Carnival period in Brazil.
