Wesley Safadão, Kamisa 10, Dennis and Batom na Cueca kick off the first day of Carnival at the Oba Festival
The first day of Carnival in Votuporanga promises fun with performances from popular artists at the Oba Festival 2026, which is back in town after three years in a different location.
The Oba Festival 2026 officially kicks off Carnival in Votuporanga, São Paulo, featuring famous Brazilian artists such as Wesley Safadão, Kamisa 10, Dennis, and Batom na Cueca. Scheduled for Saturday, February 14th, the festival marks its 18th edition and celebrates a return to its original venue at the Centro de Eventos 'Helder Henrique Galera' after three years at a different location in São José do Rio Preto.
One significant aspect of the festival this year is the introduction of a community stage, allowing attendees access for free with a donation of non-perishable food. This initiative not only promotes community spirit but also encourages social responsibility among festival-goers. Tickets for this section can be purchased online or in person and will be available throughout the event, emphasizing accessibility for all.
In addition to the community stage, the festival includes exclusive areas like the Front Stage, Camarote Lounge, and Camarote Premium, which cater to different attendee experiences. This comprehensive setup aims to enhance the overall festival atmosphere, making it a notable highlight in the annual Carnival calendar, blending entertainment with community engagement.
