Maracatu Mar Aberto has been a Harvest tradition since its inception. They lead everyone out of the Circus to the lighting of the Bonfire 🔥.

Translated to English as the Open Sea, the name represents the aggregated influences that have travelled from Africa to Brazil and onward to Toronto and beyond. Mar Aberto is a living tradition of maracatu in a local context—not a folkloric representation.
