After police forces' determination, the city hall of Pirambu prohibits the use of sound systems and car audio
The city hall of Pirambu has prohibited the use of sound systems and car audio during Carnival following police directives.
The city hall of Pirambu has issued a statement announcing the prohibition of sound systems, known as "paredões," and car audio during the upcoming Carnival festivities. This decision comes after directives from local police forces aimed at ensuring safety and order during the celebrations. The city hall clarified that sound will only be permitted from the official electric trios and during the municipality's official nighttime programming.
Despite this restriction, the city hall has confirmed that planned official blocks like As Marisqueiras, Calango da Alegria, and Rachão da Praia will continue as scheduled. These traditional Carnival blocks are a significant part of the community's celebrations. The move reflects a broader trend of ensuring compliance with safety regulations during public events, particularly those that attract large crowds.
Local residents and visitors to Pirambu can expect a modified experience this Carnival with tighter control over sound systems, which have been a common feature in past celebrations. The city hall's actions demonstrate a focus on maintaining order while still allowing for designated moments of Carnival festivities, which are an essential aspect of the cultural life in this Brazilian coastal town.
