These are the city’s most traditional events, all free and open to the public. Most don’t have a fixed date, so it is important to pay attention to the local newspapers, to the news boards scattered around the city and to the City Hall’s website (www.ouropreto.mg.gov.br) and the University page (www.ufop.br) to stay informed about the year’s events.
