Why go
In the last weekend of June, an island city in the middle of the Amazon splits into red and blue halves for the Boi-Bumba: the rival folklore associations Garantido and Caprichoso stage three nights of competing spectacle in the 35,000-seat Bumbodromo built for exactly this, with floats the size of buildings, hundreds of drummers, and the ox-resurrection legend told through Amazonian mythology. It is Brazil's second-largest festival and nearly unknown outside the country, and the crowd is part of the show, because each side's audience energy is judged. You arrive by river or by air, and the getting there is half the story.

What to expect
Held the last weekend of June each year; the 2026 edition runs June 26-28. The two sides alternate performance nights. Wear one color or the other inside the Bumbodromo; neutrality is not really an option. There is no central ticket office in the usual sense: seats move through the associations and Amazonas tourism channels, so most visitors go with a package.
Getting there & around
Fly Manaus (MAO) to Parintins (PIN), with festival-week flights selling out fast, or take a riverboat from Manaus, about twenty hours upstream. Beds are the scarcest resource: book six months or more ahead, or use a package with boat lodging.
