The Acorde Miramar bloc is a traditional parade that kicks off the Carnival festivities in João Pessoa, Brazil, taking place on the eve of Quarta-feira de Fogo. This year's celebration is notable as it features the Orquestra Pop Frevo, enticing revelers with a blend of classic Carnival marchinhas and vibrant frevo music. The parade's starting point is at Praça das Muriçocas, with festivities beginning at 8 PM and the main parade at midnight, symbolizing the community's energetic anticipation for the major Carnival events.

The Acorde Miramar is not only significant for its lively music and dance but also as a doorstep to the larger Muriçocas do Miramar bloc, which is one of the most iconic representations of Carnival in the capital of Paraíba.
