The musical program begins with the Orquestra de Frevo Paraíso Tropical and includes a variety of performances throughout the evening, culminating at 10 PM.

With a full schedule of performances and a vibrant atmosphere, the Bloco Boi do Bessa reflects the energetic spirit of Brazilian Carnival. As part of Folia de Rua, this event not only showcases musical talent but also strengthens community bonds and cultural identity, making it a significant occasion for the city of João Pessoa.
