Sairé Festival

Realized in the beautiful village of Alter do Chão, on the banks of the Tapajós River, the Festival do Sairé is one of the oldest and most symbolic cultural manifestations of the Amazon.

Blending religious and profane elements, the event celebrates faith, tradition, and the festive spirit of the people of Pará.

The ritual dates back to the Jesuit missions of the 17th century, when Indigenous peoples and colonizers united their beliefs around a single emblem: the Símbolo do Sairé, a sacred standard that represents the union between the divine and the human.

During the celebration days, the village transforms into a stage of colors, dances, songs, and processions that connect generations.

But the highlight of the festival is the duel between the Tucuxi (pink) and Cor-de-Rosa (blue) dolphins — a riverside spectacle that enchants residents and visitors with its floats, choreographies, and stories inspired by Amazonian legends.

More than just an event, the Sairé is a celebration of riverside identity and the spiritual bond with the waters of the Tapajós. In times when the world debates the future of the planet, the Festival do Sairé reminds us that preserving nature also means preserving the culture that springs from it.
