About the Pre-Carnival Sea Bath to Fantasy

The Sea Bath with Fantasy is a traditional event that opens the carnival program on the coast of the state and happens through the streets of the historic center of Paranaguá, always on Sundays.

For more than six decades, carnival Antônio Dias Moura, founder of the Junqueira samba school, closed one of the pre-carnival parties with the diving in the sea, still with fantasy. From then on, the play was baptized – Sea Bath to Fantasy – and is repeated every year.

This tradition that began with the Moura family, attracts more and more revelers each year who play and dance in the streets. In 2018, the route will be approximately 1,5 km, leaving the square of the Guincho to the street of the Beach, and will have three points of support.

Even without the company of its idealizer (Moura passed away in 2006), his family continues to promote the diving and the population attends the character, with special fantasies and blocks with abadás.

“Through this event, also considered as a tourist activity, related to the experience of significant elements of the historical and cultural patrimony, we are valuing the historical and cultural recovery of an event that has been happening for nearly 70 years. and promoting the conservation of material and immaterial goods of parnanguara culture, “said the Secretary of Culture and Tourism, Harrison Camargo.
