Registration of street vendors for popular festivals in Salvador ends on Tuesday; see details

Registration of street vendors for popular festivals in Salvador ends on Tuesday (21), at 11:59 pm. Interested parties can register online to work at the Virada Festival, Lavagem do Bonfim, Festa do Rio Vermelho and Carnival.

Anyone who does not have access to the internet or finds it difficult to complete the procedure online can look for one of the City Hall units close to home to register.

This year, the municipal management also set up a service point at Mercado de São Miguel, in Baixa de Sapateiros.

According to the Municipal Public Order Secretariat (Semop), until last Friday (16), around 34 thousand registrations were completed. The holder of the portfolio, Décio Martins, said that the digital service speeded up registrations.

The biggest demand, according to the city hall, has been for Carnival, with 8,165 registrations. Next come pre-Carnival (6,449), Festival Virada (5,540), Festa de Iemanjá (5,284), Lavagem do Bonfim (5,125) and Lavagem de Itapuã (3,540).

To register, workers must present an identity document and proof of residence. Anyone who has certificates from training or refresher courses related to the activity will have extra points and more chances of getting a place.

The provisional list of those selected will be published on November 5th. Registration does not guarantee immediate authorization to work at parties. After registering and presenting documentation, candidates go through a qualification stage, scheduled to take place between October 22nd and November 2nd.

The names of those definitively classified and those on the reserve list will be announced on December 1st.

In-person registration – City Halls are open from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 5pm, while Mercado São Miguel, in Baixa dos Sapateiros, opens at the same time, on a first-come, first-served basis and without the need for an appointment.
