Sumario:The article reflects on the multiplication of festivals in several cities of the globe and the variety of themes they address, making them solidified as powerful means of communication. The format, which roots are lost in the haze of the past, refreshes itself and intermingles to modern  technologies, not only to rebuild the society as proposed by Émile Durkheim. We emphasize the people’s search for new experiences, emotions and knowledge and the necessity of places to reinvent themselves, after being affected by deindustrialization and by eviction. These places seem to believe festivals are an opportunity to acquire – or regain – its economic and cultural vitality.
