With the theme “Colors of Faith”, Albras celebrates Pará culture and consolidates legacy at the 2026 Círio de Nazaré

For the second consecutive year, space on Nazaré Avenue unites homage to the tradition of Pará and becomes part of the company’s calendar

Belém (PA), October 08, 2026: With the arrival of October, the streets of Belém gain new colors, aromas and the charm of the Nazaré celebrations. Entering the mood of the largest religious and cultural manifestation in Pará, Albras opens the doors of Casa Albras no Círio 2026 for the second consecutive year. Installed at Casa Jambo, on Nazaré Avenue in Belém, the initiative will be a meeting point for employees and companions, with programming inspired by Amazonian culture and the main religious and cultural manifestation of Pará.

“Casa Albras was born as part of the celebrations of the company’s 40th anniversary in 2025 and had a very positive reception among our employees. The project was so successful that we decided to keep it at Círio and have already confirmed the realization of the house for the coming years. In this edition, we also made a point of inviting artists and professionals from Barcarena to participate in the construction of the project. For us, it is important to value these talents, give visibility to the work they develop and bring to Casa Albras references that have a connection with our region and tradition”, emphasizes Luiz Roberto Silva Júnior, CEO of Albras.

Created during the celebrations of Albras’ 40th anniversary, the “Casa Albras no Círio” project became a permanent legacy in the company’s calendar. In this edition, the space presents the theme “Colors of Faith”, inspired by urban art and symbols, Pará iconography and the popular identity of Círio.

The visual identity of the project values local artists and artisans. The campaign brings together typography developed manually by the letter opener from Barcarena Waldemir Caravelas Furtado, registered at the Letras que Flutuam Institute, a nonprofit association founded based on 15 years of research and actions in partnership with the boat letter openers of the Amazon. The Institute holds meetings with masters who, with paint, strokes and ancestry, color the rivers of the Amazon. In addition, the painting of the facade is signed by regional graffiti artist Dirceu de Jesus Alcantara Feio and the illustrations bring references to the architecture of Belém to the Basilica of Nazaré, the Pilgrim Image, the Berlinda and the devotees who participate in the Círio procession.

Casa Albras will receive about 150 raffled employees and their companions per day during Saturday and Sunday. Among the attractions are the Viewpoint of Faith (Mirante da Fé), overlooking Nazaré Avenue, and internal settings for photos inspired by elements that are part of Círio, such as the Rope, the River Círio and the Promesseiros. The programming will also feature musical performances, which will celebrate this moment with the participants, and the presence of plastic artist Andreia Noronha, who will record, on a blank canvas, scenes and impressions experienced during the two days of programming. The work will be started and completed over the two days of the event and, at the end, raffled among the participants.

The Casa Albras experience will also be present in gastronomy, which will value Pará flavors and identity in tune with the creative concept of the programming, inspired by the art and street culture of Pará and the atmosphere of Círio. The menu will feature options that celebrate local ingredients and traditions, including a tacacá and raspa raspa stand, providing participants with an experience that brings together flavors, culture and Pará affectivity.

The children of employees will also have a special programming at Casa Albras. The Curumim Space will be dedicated to children, with an agenda full of playful and cultural activities, designed to provide moments of fun, creativity and interaction throughout the two days of programming.

Albras’ performance also extends to the faithful. In partnership with the Basilica Sanctuary of Our Lady of Nazaré, the House will provide external speakers with the transmission of the official coverage of Círio, contributing to the orientation of pilgrims and the organization of the flow of people. The Volunteers in Action committee, which completes 10 years in 2026, will also participate in the celebrations with actions to support the faithful, with the distribution of cups of water to pilgrims, candle holders and candles, identification bracelets for children and hand fans.
