Festival da Cunhã Returns to Arena da Amazônia With Joelma, Parintins Bois and Live Broadcast

Overview

• The second edition of the Festival da Cunhã is taking place at Arena da Amazônia on Saturday, May 23, 2026, with Joelma as a headline act and more than ten regional artists on the bill.
• Rede Amazônica is airing the event with presenter Oyama Filho, a move organizers say will widen national visibility for nortista and indigenous cultural expressions.
• Organizers extended the deadline for picking up 'pista social' tickets to May 22 and released a limited extra allotment of solidarity tickets that are distributed by order of arrival upon donation.
• To collect a social ticket attendees must present a CPF and donate 2 kg of nonperishable food or a can of powdered milk at one of three Super Nova Era locations in Manaus.
• Pre-event activities included an immersion for invited artists and influencers at a jungle hotel, Isabelle Nogueira’s performance in aldeia Cipiá wearing a Wilkson Santos costume, and influencer outfits made by local Amazonian artisans, all part of an effort to grow tourism, craft sales and sustainable initiatives tied to the festival.
