What Is the Festival Laços?
The Festival Laços (‘Festival of Ties’) is designed as a meeting point of music, art and culture — a free urban festival that takes over Juiz de Fora’s central square for an afternoon and evening.
Alongside the concerts, the square hosts a food court and activity areas, making it a full family plan rather than a show-only night.
