The city's main event park, on the south bank of the Itajaí-Açu river. The Marejada festival in October fills the grounds for ten days with food stalls, live music — fado, popular Brazilian — and folkloric dance from the descendants of the Azorean settlers.
Outside the festival the park is a public green space with playgrounds, a small fairground, and weekend craft markets. Most of the action is in the evenings; daytime weekdays are quiet.
