Additionally, local residents will benefit from free park admission on September 8 in honor of Curitiba’s patron saint, Nossa Senhora da Luz dos Pinhais. According to Gabriella Leão, the park's superintendent, this festival aims to blend culture and leisure, offering a dynamic experience for both locals and visitors.
