The Iperó Fest, a long-standing celebration in Iperó, Brazil, is set to commemorate the city's anniversary from March 20 to 22. This year marks the 61st edition of the festival, featuring performances from popular Brazilian artists such as Wesley Safadão, Edson & Hudson, and Alexandre Pires. The event will take place along Avenida Emílio Guazzelli, and attendees are encouraged to bring a donation of non-perishable food or pet food as entry, fostering a community spirit of helping those in need.

The festival will also highlight traditional activities, including a rodeo showcasing some of the country's best competitors, as well as food stalls and amusement parks for families and visitors. Organizers anticipate an impressive turnout of over 80,000 attendees, which is expected to create close to 2,000 jobs, both directly and indirectly, further contributing to the local economy. The event not only celebrates the city’s culture but also reinforces community bonds through charitable efforts.

Wesley Safadão is set to open the festival’s entertainment program, performing on March 20 for the first time in Iperó. The artist, renowned for mixing styles like forró, sertanejo, and piseiro, will delight fans with his hit songs, including "Vai Safadão" and "Solteiro de Novo." His presence is likely to elevate the fest's profile, drawing in younger audiences and enhancing the overall appeal of the festival as a cornerstone event in the region's cultural calendar.
