The mobile app “Carnaval Ilha Terceira” is once again available for download on Google Play (Android) and the Apple App Store (iOS), offering updated schedules and locations for this year’s bailinhos performances across Terceira Island.

According to the Câmara do Comércio de Angra do Heroísmo, the app allows users to see exactly which community halls are hosting performances at any given time and to follow each group’s route in real time from their mobile device. Designed to make it easier for spectators to track the festivities, the platform also helps venues coordinate and identify the movements of the various Carnaval groups throughout the island.

Updates during the Carnaval season are submitted directly by the participating groups and hosting halls. Users with questions can contact support at geral@cciah.eu or bailinhos@cybermap.eu.

This year’s Carnaval features a total of 58 performing groups: six danças de pandeiro, three comedy troupes, three danças de espada, one monologue, and 45 traditional bailinhos. Performances will take place on 34 stages islandwide through February 17.

The “Carnaval Ilha Terceira” app was originally launched in 2016 by the Associação Regional do Turismo. Since 2023, it has been updated by the Câmara do Comércio de Angra do Heroísmo in partnership with the municipalities of Angra do Heroísmo and Praia da Vitória, with support from Foto Iris and technological development provided by Cybermap.
