Feel the pulse of Fortal in your soul, your toes sinking into the sand, and immerse yourself in nonstop luxury vibes throughout this unforgettable week. Fortal, Fortaleza’s iconic festival, has been one of Brazil’s most celebrated cultural events since its inception in 1991. Drawing inspiration from Brazil’s Carnival, it infuses local culture with the contagious energy of Bahia’s axé music, samba, and other Afro-Brazilian rhythms.
Over the years, Fortal has evolved into a must-visit destination for music lovers, partygoers, and international celebrities seeking a high-energy, world-class Carnival experience—one that steps beyond the well-trodden paths of Rio and Salvador.
At Fortal, you’re not just attending a festival; you’re entering an electrifying celebration of life.
With vibrant camarotes (VIP lounges), you’ll enjoy exclusive access to the best views of the stage while basking in the rhythm and magic of the music. Massive blocos (parades) flood the streets with dazzling floats, sensational costumes, and nonstop dancing, making this a true feast for the senses.
It’s a cultural spectacle where unity and joy come to life, drawing together a global community of revelers in the ultimate expression of Brazil’s joyous spirit.
Expect to be swept away by live performances from Brazil’s top artists, spanning genres from pop to electronic beats.
For over three decades, Fortal has been the ultimate destination for those who want to revel in Brazil’s infectious rhythm, passion, and flair.
Whether you’re in the VIP Camarote, dancing in the crowd, or simply absorbing the vibrant atmosphere, Fortal will elevate your Savage Week into an experience of pure cultural immersion.
Salvador’s main international airport is Deputado Luís Eduardo Magalhães (SSA). We highly recommend flying in the day before your week is due to start and booking transitionary (e.g., hotel or Airbnb) accommodation for the night so that you do not miss any of the activities on the first day and are on time for check-in.
