As big as it gets in this city. Forró. Also quite a party on the pavement outside.
Maranhão has its own version of the guaraná soft drink, called Jesus nothing religious, it was the inventor´s name. It is pink and rather sweeter than the others.Many small bars around Old Town, but quite dead on Sundays, when most action goes along the beaches. Another area is along the Lagoa da Jansen, near the beach Ponta d'Areia. A third is on the beach of Calhau. Night buses go past these areas every half hour on weekends.
