Flexeiras: Discover Culture, Tradition and Nature

In Flexeiras, festival traditions, local produce and learning about nature come together. Events range from Quadrilha performances and Cordel readings to an exhibition of historic vehicles. There is also the Semana Santa market and opportunities to learn about the Atlantic Forest. This makes it possible to shape a stay around a wide range of interests, without limiting all experiences to a single theme.

Junina Culture and Living Traditions

The XXIII Circuito Alagoano de Quadrilhas Juninas brought five competition evenings to Flexeiras. A distinct cultural highlight was the second Festival de Quadrilhas Juninas, which brought together Quadrilha groups from other cities to celebrate São João and the culture of Brazil’s Northeast. Those interested in regional festival traditions can experience both the competition and the community spirit of a festival here.

The “Encontro Com a Nossa História” project also explores Flexeiras’s cultural identity. Prominent local figures were awarded the title “Patrimônio Cultural Vivo” for their contribution to preserving this identity. The project also included cultural performances and Cordel readings. The combination of recognition, performances and orally presented literature offers a different way to experience local culture from the Quadrilha events.

Historic Vehicles and Knowledge of Nature

At Flexeiras RetroCar, Praça Multieventos became an open-air exhibition of historic vehicles. It was aimed at admirers, collectors and curious visitors. Another edition, the second Flexeiras Retrô Car in 2026, showcased more than 80 vehicles spanning different models, makes and decades, and attracted a large audience. The range of vehicles on display makes this event particularly appealing to guests interested in different eras and automobile models.

The Museu da Mata Atlântica shares knowledge about the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest, highlighting the species, colours and forms of the Mata Atlântica. A workshop entitled “Vida das Borboletas” explored the life cycle of butterflies, from caterpillar to chrysalis to flight. It focuses both on the diversity of the habitat and on the development of an individual animal. If you are travelling with children, these specific nature topics can provide a starting point for conversation.

Markets, Agriculture and Other Highlights

The traditional Feira do Peixe da Semana Santa de Flexeiras was held at the Mercado Público Municipal. Fish and seafood such as lobster, shrimp and sururu were sold there. Its connection to Semana Santa and the products on offer give the market a distinct seasonal and culinary character. The Festa do Agricultor de Flexeiras offers a different perspective on local produce: it takes place on the first Saturday in August and gives farmers the opportunity to showcase agricultural products from Flexeiras.

The Flexeiras Eco Festival focuses on environmental awareness and building a more sustainable future. Together with the museum’s nature-related themes, it complements the festivals and markets with a focus on the environment and biodiversity. The Santuário do Amor Divino, in turn, offers a faith-oriented place for peace and reflection. Flexeiras therefore offers a range of ways to explore the area: vibrant culture, regional produce, learning about nature and a place for contemplation.
