The Lavagem da 46 Rua or Cleansing of 46th street in 2010, much bigger and highly acclaimed, will feature its Grand Marshal Margareth Menezes and new popular folkloric festivities from various parts of Brazil.

Activities pertaining to the State of Bahia will take center stage and blend with rhythms and cultural manifestations of several other states of the Federation portraying rhythms of Maracatu, Samba and Frevo.

The traditional “baianas” will be the main attraction of the Lavagem. They will be dressed in white colors, adorned with beads and carrying rosaries and flowers.
They will also carry white jars and vases filled with perfumed water, energizing the various groups in the parade throughout Little Brazil (46th Street).

This opening event of the Brazilian Day will bring several attractions to the stage to be located on 46th Street between Madison and 5th Avenue. The audience will be introduced to dignitaries, sponsors and representatives who made the event possible.
