Pelotas is 'the city of sweets' so they have a festival every year to celebrate. Sweet makers from all over the city come to show case and sell their sweets. They have a mini 'carnival' for the kids and other live acts perform on various stages (well, two stages haha). There is also fair rides and games. The traditional sweets are yummy but i fell for the chocolate covered strawberries. Mmmmmm! (Pic's of the traditional sweets can be found in th post 'piggy went to market')

Carnival

Carnival

This is 'Tholl', the Brailian equivalent to Circ do Sole. I think just as good, but smaller.
You can find them on youtube.

One of the main acts was Moises' friend Marquinho. Kind of North (Brazilian) country music. Very good, different to what i've ever heard. Moises other friend Vincent also played with his band, but we were too distracted by his vest to take pictures haha.

And the sweestest sweets at the festival, us!
