annual events in niterói, while by no means a new phenomenon, have reached an exceptional level of organization and promotion in recent years. contributing factors include the growth of tourism and population in the guanabara bay area, but perhaps a more important trend is the formation of organizations like neltur (niterói leisure and tourism company), putting together new projects and helping to advertise existing ones.

as the months of december, january and february tend to be dominated by the traditional (southern hemisphere) summer events such as christmas, new year and carnaval, organized happenings that fall outside of these categories generally occur in the months that remain, making the winter in this region of brazil quite fun and rich of entertainment options.
