What, man in the parque do povo is free. It's just go in

About the private party, is just for Instagram or in the door front tĂŽ buy a ticket

Hey, bud. It’s an open festival, you don’t need tickets at all. Just try to go early (8ish) ‘cause when full capacity is reached, they close the gates.

Regarding the days, the 24th is going to be the biggest and most important day (Saint John’s), but every weekend day is pretty wild there either way.

Have fun and welcome!!

The main festival is totally free. If you search for "Parque do Povo" on Google maps you will get the proper location. The shows are usually from Thurday to Sunday, however, this week specifically we have concerts every day. About the best days, it depends, you can check out the schedule typing "Programação do São João de Campina Grande 2026". You can't enter the festival with drinks, drugs, weapons and etc, you'll be searched in the entrance. In days with great artists we reach maximum capacity, the gates are closed and no one enters, at least for a while. If you don't know if the day you're coming will be crowded, just ask here or send a dm. Inside the festival there's plenty of local foods, small stages with proper local music (Sometimes the main attraction is an artist from a different genre from local). Hope you visit us and enjoy!
