In an innovative approach to bring joy to those unable to celebrate outside, the Grupo Esparatrapo has organized the first edition of 'Esparafolia', a Carnival bloc tailored for patients, their companions, and healthcare professionals. Set to take place on February 10 and 12, 2026, this initiative aims to brighten the environments of four public hospitals in São Paulo, exemplifying a commitment to inclusivity and joy even in challenging circumstances.

The activities at 'Esparafolia' are thoughtfully designed to adapt to the realities of hospitalization. Professional clowns will perform, transforming hospital corridors and wards into lively spaces of interaction while adhering strictly to health protocols and respecting the clinical conditions of each patient. This creative undertaking serves as a vital reminder that celebrations can be reimagined to suit different situations, making the holiday spirit accessible to everyone.

The programming for this unique Carnival experience includes music performances, improvisational games, playful activities, and clown interventions catering to various patient profiles. By engaging not only the patients but also their companions, 'Esparafolia' seeks to foster a sense of community and support within the often lonely and stressful environment of hospitals, reinforcing the idea that laughter and joy are essential components of healing.
