The parade took place at Consolação Streetcentral region of the city, and brought together a crowd attracted by musical performances by national and international artists. With the large flow of revelers, there were reports of pushing, people feeling sick and lack of spacewhich raised questions about the organization and security capacity of the event.

The situation caught the attention of Public Ministrywhich opened an investigation to analyze possible flaws in the planning and authorization of the blocks that paraded simultaneously in the same area. The investigation seeks to understand whether there was an excess of public and whether the control measures were sufficient to guarantee the safety of participants.

Despite criticism, the municipal administration defended the decision and stated that pre-Carnival was considered positive in the overall balancehighlighting that, even with a large audience, few serious incidents were recorded.
