Two years later, the traditional Festival of the Italian Colony of Quiririm will once again be carried out in person in Taubaté. This year, the event reaches its 33ª edition and will take place between April 27th and May 1st.
The program, which can be seen below, is held at the district's events square, which is on Rua Coronel José Benedito Marcondes de Mattos.
In 2020, the party was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic and, in 2021, it happened in a very different way: the program could only be followed online and the traditional pasta was sold under the scheme drive-thru.
Now, with the return of in-person activities, the organization expects around 250 people to attend. The event takes place to celebrate the 148 years since the arrival of Italians in Brazil and will feature food, musical performances, parades and typical dances from Italy.
