The second edition of Itabaiana's Festa do Vaqueiro (Cowboy Festival) is scheduled for Sunday, November 29, 2026, in Itabaiana, Sergipe, Brazil. According to the municipal government, the horseback parade is set to begin at 3 p.m., departing from the place known as Eu Amo Itabaiana. The band Arreio de Ouro will lead the riders, while Rey Vaqueiro and Milsinho Toque Dez have been announced for later performances at the Praça de Eventos event square.
Announced schedule for November 29
- 3 p.m.: the horseback parade departs from Eu Amo Itabaiana, with Arreio de Ouro leading the riders.
- Along the route: the parade travels through city streets, as stated in the municipal announcement.
- After the parade: Rey Vaqueiro and Milsinho Toque Dez are scheduled to perform at Praça de Eventos. Individual start times and the exact order of these two shows were not provided in the public schedule consulted.
All three acts were announced by the municipal government on October 7, 2026, and were also reported by local news media. The municipality said its Events Department would announce additional performers later. The list therefore covers acts already announced, not necessarily the festival's final lineup.
What route will the horseback parade follow?
The announced departure point is Eu Amo Itabaiana, at 3 p.m. The municipality says the parade will pass through city streets, but the 2026 notice consulted does not list the roads in order, identify the parade's finishing point, or provide an estimated end time. A complete route, specific road closures, and detours therefore cannot yet be reliably given.
Praça de Eventos is the announced location for the performances after the parade. This does not amount to an officially confirmed list of streets the riders will follow.
Will admission be free? What remains unconfirmed
The October 7 municipal notice does not explicitly say whether admission will be charged or free for the 2026 event. It also gives no details on reservation procedures, accessibility arrangements, individual show times, or possible traffic changes. These details require a further announcement from the organizers, especially for visitors traveling from other municipalities.
Do not confuse the 2026 event with the 2025 edition
The inaugural event took place on November 30, 2025, with its own lineup and a different arrangement of performances. Although older pages may still appear in searches, the 2025 pre-parade warm-up time and venues must not be treated as the schedule for November 29, 2026.
Information checked on October 26, 2026. The event is still scheduled for a future date, and the Itabaiana municipal government may announce additions or changes.
