This paper discusses the Belo Horizonte Carnival between 2013 and 2015. With the growth of cultural street manifestations, the state capital has been seeing a resurgence of the festival in recent years, in all its regions. The involvement of agents such as municipal government, sponsors, and carnival goers is necessary for the provision of urban infrastructure, logistics and the entertainment program. It is noteworthy that the public of the event has increased annually, boosting the city’s economy. The recent growth of Belo Horizonte’s Carnival is a subject that has been little explored in academic circles, therefore it is an interesting object of study. This research uses a qualitative approach, through documentary and descriptive analysis of the main outcomes of the festival. To analyze the evolution of the carnival in the city, this study is supported by the reports of activities of the Empresa Municipal de Turismo de Belo Horizonte (Municipal Tourism Company of Belo Horizonte - free translation), which organizes the event, and news published in the newspapers Estado de Minas, Tempo, and Hoje em Dia, during the Carnival. Based on this study, it is concluded that the Carnival has evolved in terms of organization, numbers of attendees, and gains in private investments, and it is now considered the biggest tourism event in Belo Horizonte.
