free concerts are also part of the festival - all events take place in the first three weeks of october.

november is springtime in south america, and in angra dos reis it sparks the encontro nacional de teatro de rua - angra's national street theater festival.

the festival has been going since 1990 and takes place in plazas and open spaces throughout the city.

in addition to performances by troupes from both angra dos reis and from all over brazil, the festival also integrates interactive shows for young and old, workshops, seminars and debates into its program to provide a well-rounded and all-inclusive theatrical experience.
