The Carnival holiday in Sorocaba, taking place on February 16 and 17, will impact the accessibility of various public services. Local authorities have announced that essential services, such as emergency healthcare and waste collection, will continue without interruption. Additionally, night markets in Parque das Águas and Jardim Guaíba will operate as usual on February 17, creating opportunities for festive engagement among residents.

However, there will be closures in other areas of public service. For example, municipal buildings and decentralized units will be closed on both Carnival days and will reopen on February 18, albeit for shortened hours. This presents a mixed bag for locals, as essential services remain available, but several administrative services will not be accessible during the peak of the holiday festivities.

Overall, the city of Sorocaba is preparing to ensure that while Carnival celebrations take place, residents still have access to vital services. The arrangements highlight the city's commitment to balancing celebration with necessary public service provision, ensuring that citizens can enjoy the holiday without compromising access to health, safety, and basic needs.
