The idea:
Every Friday different bands play on four different stages in Arrecife. The fun part is that “street bands” guide fans from one stage to the next, following an Elvis impersonator and the big yellow foam hand. The vibe is fantastic with everyone, literally, dancing in the streets!
The first concert starts at 6pm and the group of people following the music keeps getting bigger and bigger. After the last concert, held at the Marina, a DJ continues with the party until around 3am, which means about 9 hours of live music every Friday of this musical festival!!!
There’s a real international flavour to the acts and the variety of music is huge. You can check each band and even listen to a sample of their music here: https://www.arrecifeenvivo.com/artistas-2025/
