This Sunday (12) takes place the first edition of Folia na Júlio, a Carnival event in Taquara that resumes carnival activities in the city. The event is organized by the Municipality of Taquara, Sesc-Taquara and Instituto Gaúcho Pró-Cidadania, and will be at Rua Júlio de Castilhos, close to the Marechal Deodoro Square, with a schedule that will be from 3 pm to 9 pm.
“Our Folia at Júlio would be last week, however, due to the heavy rain that fell on the 4th, we need to postpone the event to this Sunday. We will have a very diversified event, to attract the public of all ages. We have a great presence of the community”, highlights Mayor Sirlei Silveira.
