Abstract

The study refers to a research carried out on the Santo Antônio Festejo in the Quilombola Kalunga do Engenho II community, located in the municipality of Cavalcante, in Goiás. Therefore, the general objective of this study was to analyze how this Party works as a cultural and tourist element in the QuilomboKalunga do Engenho II community. Therefore, in the methodological field, bibliographic research was first used in studies already developed on the subject. Secondly, field research was carried out through the application of semi-structured interviews and the use of a questionnaire with 03 quilombola residents, who have lived and participated in the locality for a long time. Thus, through the literature used and the reports obtained through local subjects, the initial confirmation was reached that the religious and cultural manifestation under study can be thought of as an attractive feature of religious and rural tourism, whose potential for growth and economic development and social is notable both for the Kalunga community hosting the festivity and for other adjacent communities in the municipality of Cavalcante and the Microregion of Chapada dos Veadeiros.
