The Caruaru City Hall has announced operational schedules for public and private services during Carnival 2026, highlighting essential services and differing hours for banks and commerce.
As Carnival 2026 approaches, Caruaru's city government is informing residents about the operational hours of various services throughout the festivities. Starting from Friday, February 13, different schedules will be implemented for businesses, banks, and local markets, though essential services like waste collection will remain unchanged. The report details what will be open and closed during this vibrant period in the city, located in Pernambuco's Agreste region.
During the Carnival festivities, the local commerce will generally operate as usual. However, it is up to each individual store to decide their hours on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday since Carnival is not officially designated as a holiday in Caruaru. This policy allows businesses the flexibility to keep their doors open if they choose, leading to a varied shopping experience for locals and tourists alike while adhering to existing labor laws for employees.
Bank branches, however, will have altered hours, reflecting the celebratory atmosphere of the Carnival season. The changes primarily impact banking services, and it is advisable for residents to check with their local branches for specific opening hours. Overall, the framework established by the local government aims to accommodate the festive spirit while ensuring that essential services continue to function for those who need them during this period of celebration.
