while the beach in itself is not well know among visitors, even less people know about the free event that is held here every friday evening. volunteers of the movimento artistico da praia vermelha (artistic movement of the red beach) perform a mix of the brazilian music styles of choro, samba and mpb, on the promenade of the beach.

it's an unforgettable experience of authentic brazilian music in an extraordinary setting, that will impress not just music enthusiasts, but anyone who is looking for a unique cultural experience or a romantic alternative to the otherwise lively weekend nightlife of rio de janeiro - in case of rain, this event is ususally cancelled.
