The Maranhão State Government is organizing the Lava-Pratos event in Imperatriz, the second largest city in the state, as part of the Carnival festivities that extend throughout February. Scheduled for February 21 and 22, the event aims to decentralize Carnival celebrations, bringing culture, entertainment, and leisure to the interior regions of the state, thus enhancing local community engagement with the festive activities.

Taking place on Avenida Bernardo Sayão, the two-day celebration will feature a variety of performances starting at 7 PM, showcasing both renowned national acts and local artists. On the first day, an array of musical performances will include notable artists such as Forró de Elite, Nattanzinho Lima, and Pablo, presenting a diverse range of musical styles and rhythms designed to captivate the audience. The organizers emphasize the importance of safety, organization, and vibrant atmosphere throughout the event.

The Lava-Pratos event reiterates the Maranhão State Government's commitment to fostering cultural initiatives that celebrate regional diversity and promote local talent. By providing a platform for artists while contributing to the local economy during this festive season, the event not only entertains but also reinforces community ties and the cultural identity of the region during one of Brazil's most significant celebratory periods.
