A Rua é Sua

Rua Poço dos Negros is part of a municipal program called ‘A Rua é Sua’ that started in 2019 and occurs on the last Sunday of each month, between May and December. The first event took place along the Avenida da Liberdade: the prestigious and central street, closed to car traffic, has given way to recreational and activities, street food, organic market and crafts. The program was very successful and was repeated in other areas of the city and planned for around 100 streets. Currently, due to the pandemic, it has changed its original intention to give more space to people in the streets, guaranteeing physical distance, promoting active mobility and supporting local commerce by increasing the areas for terraces and new spaces for leisure.
