Nautical Festival Brings Sports and Leisure to the Waterfront in Mangaratiba

Praia do Saco will host the 3rd edition of the Mangaratiba Nautical Festival on May 16, from 7 AM to 5 PM. The event is organized by Projeto Grael in partnership with ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ and aims to encourage water sports among beginners, athletes, and local residents. The program includes swimming, stand-up paddle (SUP), canoeing, and sailing competitions, all open and free to the public. As a supporter of both the event and Projeto Grael, ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ will be present with a booth and interactive activities for attendees, including a quiz, selective waste collection, and an Instagrammable photo space. 

"Hosting the festival honors Mangaratiba's nautical culture and creates learning opportunities that connect with the daily lives of local families. Being part of initiatives like this reinforces ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½'s commitment to helping more people access sports and educational experiences," says Elane Costa, Community Relations Coordinator at ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½. 

The festival is organized by Projeto Grael, which promotes the development of children and young people in the region through free sailing, swimming, and canoeing classes.
