On Saturday, the parades are primarily scheduled for the Bairro Getúlio Vargas, Atalaia, Novo Paraíso, and Bairro América, while Sunday events will focus on Orlando Dantas, Santa Maria, and 17 de Março.
The SMTT informs that the traffic interventions will be implemented gradually, following the movement of revelers along the streets. Drivers are encouraged to plan their travel in advance, utilize alternative routes, and pay attention to the temporary signage and instructions given by traffic agents. This initiative aims to facilitate a safer and more organized carnival experience for participants while minimizing disruptions for local motorists.
