the race is followed by a medley of street parties - mostly clustered around zumbi das palmares and nilo peçanha plazas - that include art exhibitions, live theater, a giant cake and fireworks.

angra's birthday party falls right in the middle of the festival do mar, a celebration of all things oceanic that lasts all summer, in a place where the oceanfront offers no shortage of things to celebrate. 

the lineup includes competitions in soccer, beach volleyball, canoeing, stand-up paddle and biathlon, a regatta, and a top-notch seafood culinary festival.
