Among the confirmed artists are popular figures in Brazilian music, including Vanessa da Mata, Elba Ramalho, and Edson Gomes, with the festival officially kicking off on February 14, coinciding with the traditional Sábado de Zé Pereira. This annual event is expected to attract thousands of revelers, showcasing a rich and diverse cultural agenda that includes various music genres such as frevo, forró, samba, brega, and reggae.

The festivities will run from February 11 to February 18, and the programming aims to enhance accessibility by distributing events across multiple decentralized locations.

As such, the Carnaval do Papangu continues to be a vital part of Pernambuco's annual celebrations, drawing attention to its artistic and cultural treasures.
