The iconic Brazilian folklore groups Caprichoso and Garantido are set to showcase a 'mini festival' during the official launch of the 59th Folklore Festival in Parintins, Amazonas, on November 20. This event will be held at the Bumbódromo and aims to provide attendees with a glimpse of the spectacular performances anticipated for the main festival. The mini festival promises a rich display of allegorical floats and participation from various artistic and musical ensembles with free entry for the public.

As part of the event, audiences will experience a sneak peek into the artistry and performance nature that define the cultural identity of the Caprichoso and Garantido festivals. It will include the collaboration of official items, choreographic groups, musicians, and devoted fans, setting the stage for the main festival scheduled for June 26 to 28 in 2026. The initiative not only generates excitement for next year's festivities but also strengthens the cultural engagement among the participants and the community.

The launch event will also feature performances from national musical acts, with Simone Mendes kicking off the night at 9 PM followed by Klessinha as the closing performer. This approach highlights the importance of integrating various forms of entertainment into the folkloric tradition, ensuring a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere leading up to the larger festival celebration.
