The entire city is decorated with lights and there is a huge parade, concerts, nativity scenes and light shows everywhere.

HSBC Christmas Choir - Curitiba- PR



Even if you don't live in or around Curitiba you won't have to leave the comfort of your livingroom to enjoy the annual carolling of the children at HSBC's Palácio Avenida. The event is televised all over Brazil. It's a spectacular event and I never miss it.
