The upcoming 2026 Carnival in Poços de Caldas promises to be a vibrant celebration with the participation of ten different street blocks, catering to a variety of musical tastes and entertainment styles over four days. The event is expected to attract hundreds of revelers, both locals and tourists, who will fill the streets of the city with joy and festivity. Among the highlights are two new entrants to the street block lineup, Mirante Santa Rita and Já que tá aqui, bebe, both of which aim to enhance the festive atmosphere and offer unique experiences to attendees.

Starting on Saturday, February 14, 2026, the feasting will kick off in the vicinity of Praça Getúlio Vargas (Flower Clock Square). The festivities will feature a 1.5 km route, approximately, winding past key landmarks like Praça Dom Pedro II and Rua Assis Figueiredo. Each street block is planned to offer diverse attractions, including live bands, DJs, and beverage packages for those who purchase an 'abadá' (a traditional Carnival costume), thus ensuring a festive atmosphere for every participant.

As Carnival serves as a crucial cultural event in Brazil, the programming of street blocks in Poços de Caldas reflects the community's rich heritage and commitment to celebrating this tradition. For many, participating in the street block festivities not only brings joy but also strengthens social bonds within the community. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to take part, making it a highlight for both tourism and local unity in the region during the Carnival season.
