On Monday, February 9, João Pessoa hosts family-friendly pre-carnival events featuring the Muriçoquinhas children's block alongside the Elderly Block, catering specifically to older adults. The Muriçoquinhas block will showcase attractions such as Mundo Bita, A Barca Maluka, frevo orchestras, and circus artists, starting its festivities at 4 PM on Avenida Epitácio Pessoa before parading at 5:30 PM. The Elderly Block will begin at 6 PM at the Busto de Tamandaré in Tambaú, featuring music by Gracinha Teles and an accompanying orchestra.

The Muriçoquinhas block represents a vibrant celebration of childhood and is modeled after the larger Muriçocas do Miramar block, an important entity in the pre-carnival scene of João Pessoa. This children's block emphasizes educational themes, particularly addressing issues such as child labor through its parade themes, thereby providing not just entertainment but also raising social awareness among young attendees.

As João Pessoa gears up for its pre-carnival festivities, the inclusion of both children and seniors in this community celebration highlights the city's commitment to fostering an inclusive environment where all generations can participate and enjoy the rich cultural heritage of Brazilian carnival traditions. The event serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of communities, celebrating diversity through shared cultural experiences and performances.
