In addition to the cultural attractions, the public will also be able to watch the Brazilian team's World Cup games on big screens installed in the June circuit. The matches against Morocco, on the 13th, and Haiti, on the 19th, are part of the special schedule.

The festivities also extend to other parts of the Historic Center, such as the neighborhood of Santo Antônio Além do Carmo, expanding the June circuit in the capital.
