Taking a car to the party tonight? The Cidaddes venue has 2 entrances. It is a big venue that covers 2 blocks. They sent us their second address that is better for car access: Av. Binário do Porto (next to the Cidaddess venue), near the Cury real estate sales booth, in the direction of the Bus Station (VLT Station: Cordeiro da Graça).
