This year's event, held in the Dodô circuit (Barra-Ondina), featured performances from notable artists such as Léo Santana, Carlinhos Brown, Tony Salles, Edcity (Fantasmão), and Danniel Vieira, among other guests. It draws a diverse crowd of both local residents and international tourists who celebrate the vibrant culture of Salvador.
