Arcoverde promotes itself regionally as a Capital do Forro and runs its own June festival in Pernambuco's Agreste region, a transitional zone between the coastal Zona da Mata and the dry Sertao interior, near the area associated with forro pioneer Luiz Gonzaga. Independent programming detail is limited.
Arcoverde's claim to the Capital do Forro title ties its June festival to the wider Agreste region's deep association with forro music, giving the event a genre-focused identity distinct from beach-town or coastal Northeastern June festivals
The city's history as a railway junction for Pernambuco's interior adds a practical, historic-hub character to its self-promotion
