A tumult on Rua da Consolação in central São Paulo during the simultaneous parades of the Acadêmicos do Baixo Augusta and DJ Calvin Harris blocos left revelers pressed and knocked down protective barriers on Sunday (8). The Baixo Augusta bloco criticized the city hall's lack of organization, while the municipal administration activated a contingency plan to address overcrowding. At least 30 people were treated for feeling ill, with no hospitalizations.
