You can prepare the whole family's fantasy! The Pontal Museum capriced in its programming of carnaval for the small revelers. It will be three weekends followed by folia, between the days 15/02 and 2/03, with small balls of carnaval and two workshops for those who like to put their hands on the dough and prepare their own props. The entire museum schedule is free.
The premiere of the Carnaval at the Pontal Museum takes place on Saturday 15/02. At the Head Care Workshop, artisan Martha Loureiro will teach participants to develop their own props with ribbons, flowers, fruits and characters from children's stories. It will be possible to use on the same day by 4:00. On Sunday, the 16/02, at 4:00, there's more fun! The Popular Sky Orchestra on Earth, famous for the good music and the presence of legels, will host the party at Pontal. On the soundtrack, marchinhas, sambas, frevos and maxixes. And even the babies will fall in the samba! On the 16/02 and 23/02 and 2/03 days, there is the Carnaval Ball for Babies, for children from 6 months to 3 years. The art-educators of the Museum will lead the party, full of marches and playful activities.
