“We celebrate these numbers, especially in light of the economic crisis. There is a pent-up demand for major events and we can consider it the biggest in Santa Catarina in 2022”, evaluates Develon da Rocha, president of Abluetc. “The brewers' testimonials confirm an increase in sales and in the average ticket, but we are still figuring out the exact proportion of this growth”, she adds.

With all seats occupied, ViaVan left Florianópolis around 14 pm and returned at 2 am on Sunday (8). Combining comfort and safety, the tour allowed the public living in and around the capital to enjoy the event without worries.
