In Belo Horizonte (BH), the festive spirit persists as several carnival blocks take to the streets for the final day of official celebrations on Sunday, February 22nd. Notably, at least 15 blocks are set to parade, with well-known groups such as Beleza Rara and Swing Safado taking center stage. This festive conclusion invites locals and visitors alike to participate in the lively and colorful carnival atmosphere that has come to symbolize Brazilian culture.

One of the highlights of the parading blocks is Beleza Rara, led by Felipe Pezzoni, which is scheduled to gather at 4 PM on Avenida dos Andradas in downtown BH. The block will not only showcase classic hits like "Eva" and "Beleza Rara" but also represents a significant part of Brazilian carnival traditions, celebrating the axé music genre. The Banda Eva, which initially started as a block in 1980 before evolving into a band, has earned a reputation as a vital training ground for musical talents in Brazil, propelling renowned artists like Daniela Mercury and Ivete Sangalo to stardom.

As the carnival season wraps up, events like these reinforce the cultural richness of Minas Gerais and the important place that carnival holds in Brazilian society. With vibrant music and dance resonating through the streets, the continuing celebrations serve not just as an entertainment outlet but also as a means of fostering community and cultural heritage among the residents of BH and the wider Brazilian community.
