Conceição do Araguaia

Conceição do Araguaia is a municipality in southeastern Pará located near the border with Tocantins state. The town sits along the Araguaia River, where freshwater beaches and islands form the natural landscape.

The municipality emerged through agricultural expansion and settlement patterns that shaped southeastern Pará. This development established it as an administrative center for the region.

The Fest Verão music festival brings national performers to Praia das Gaivotas beach and creates an important cultural gathering for the region. These celebrations shape the summer rhythm and bring the community together around shared entertainment.
