The community of Linha Brasil, in the interior of Nova Petrópolis, holds the 49th Festa do Figo on the 3rd and 4th of February at the Sociedade Cultural e Esportiva Linha Brasil. The event has free entry and parking and brings together a series of attractions related to the fruit, as well as cultural activities, with emphasis on the bands that will perform on two stages.
Responsible for publicity in the period leading up to the party, the sovereigns of the 49th Festa do Figo de Linha Brasil, Queen Francieli Tais Herrmann and princesses Jamille Albarello Pohlmann and Andriele Artmann Cruz, will also welcome the public on the 3rd and 4th of February.
Among the musical attractions are Banda 0800, Cleiton Borges e Banda, Banda Champion, Banda Bom de Baile and Banda Rosa’s. Typical lunches, an exhibitor fair, a presentation by the Sonnenschein Folk Dance Group, a walk and an ecumenical service complete the program for the 49th Festa do Figo.
In the marketing sector, the Festival will feature the traditional offering of the main varieties of fresh figs, as well as a series of colonial products prepared with the fruit. Cucas, jellies, sweets, among other products, will have a special highlight in the 2024 edition. In the case of fig cucas, the new feature will be the operation of wood-fired ovens during the party, allowing the purchase of the baked product on the spot.
The Fig Festival is held annually, alternately, by the communities of Linha Brasil and Linha Araripe. The 49th edition is organized by Sociedade Cultural e Esportiva Linha Brasil, with support from Nova Petrópolis City Hall. The event is part of the summer program at Jardim da Serra Gaúcha.
