The other day I chanced upon "Lavagem do Bon Fim", which begins early in the morning as a religous festival, but its not long before the Bahians have opened a few cans of beer and it turns into the second crazziest street festival outside of carnival. Apparently women carrying buckets of flowers walk 6km to the church in Bon Fim, and perform a church step washing ritual.
I missed that part, it seemed to me, the general idea is to where white, drink a lot, make a lot of noise, and dance and party your head off, until the early hours of the morning.
It was nice to catch this festival since I dont think I will be in Brazil for carnival time, not that I know where I will be instead.
When not at festivals, the locals like to go to very crowded beaches in town. A short bus ride takes you to a nicer one!
