In May, Parque Botânico Vale celebrates 22 years of history, establishing itself as an important space for environmental education, biodiversity conservation, and community life.

Throughout this journey, the park has been a place of learning, well-being, and connection with nature, welcoming visitors of all ages and promoting initiatives that encourage environmental stewardship and appreciation of the local territory.

To celebrate this milestone, we have prepared a special anniversary program featuring cultural, educational, and recreational activities designed for the whole family and open to the community. On May 9 and 10, the park will host musical performances by Banda da Flor — a light, playful show aimed at children and families — and Banda Casaca, bringing the energy and rhythms of Capixaba culture to the park.

Join us, bring your family, and come celebrate 22 years of Parque Botânico Vale. We are open Tuesday through Sunday, from 8 AM to 5 PM.
