O Maior São João do Cerrado

The 'Maior São João do Cerrado' festival returns to Ceilândia in August 2026, after being held at Esplanada dos Ministérios in 2025. This cultural event, considered one of the largest popular manifestations in the Federal District, will return to its origin location with a new format, distributed across four hubs in the city: Praça da Estação Ceilândia Centro do Metrô, Casa do Cantador, Praça do Trabalhador and Praça da Bíblia. With 19 years of history, the festival celebrates Northeastern culture, supports local artists, boosts the regional economy, generates jobs, and provides free access to culture and leisure.
