Salvador celebrates the birth of Christ with a whole host of events for a couple of weeks before Christmas Day itself.

The city's beautiful historical centre is decorated especially for the season and the programme includes spectacular events for children, concerts, dances, touring shows, exhibitions, processions celebrating the birth of Christ and the Annunciation, a Christmas float, other religious celebrations and a Christmas supper.

The state and municipal authorities jointly put together the programme of events in the city to entertain both the baianos and the tourists. The historical centre of the city is decorated with lights, four metres high angels, stars and various other symbols of the Nativity. Father Christmas is there, and a huge tree.
