Carnaboi 2026 is set to make a significant step forward in inclusivity by providing an Accessible Space for people with disabilities and reduced mobility. The event, which takes place in Manaus on the 20th and 21st, aims to allow all attendees to enjoy the traditional boi-bumbá festival alongside performers from the renowned groups Caprichoso and Garantido. This initiative is a part of the broader 'Carnaval Amazônico' project by the Fundação Rede Amazônica, and hopes to surpass the attendance of over 27,000 from the previous year.

This year, the event's Accessible Space will accommodate up to 30 individuals with disabilities, each allowed one companion. It is designed to provide a safe environment featuring rain protection, adapted bathrooms, hydration options, sign language interpreters, and audio description services. This thoughtful arrangement emphasizes the commitment to ensuring that people with disabilities can participate fully in one of the Amazon's most celebrated cultural festivities.

By implementing such an inclusive approach, the organizers not only address the immediate needs of attendees with disabilities but also aim to set a precedent for future events. This move highlights a growing awareness around accessibility in cultural spaces and the importance of allowing everyone to enjoy the rich cultural heritage of the Amazon region. The successful execution of this initiative could inspire similar adaptations across other major events in Brazil and beyond, promoting broader societal change in how accessibility is viewed and prioritized in public festivities.
