This study is characterized as a qualitative–quantitative, descriptive and exploratory investigation, aimed at analyzing the structural transformations of the Carnival of Diamantina, Minas Gerais, and their implications for sustainability. Data collection was carried out in loco during the five days of the 2025 festivities, through a structured questionnaire administered to 370 residents, 344 visitors, and 76 local business owners. The closed-ended questions sought to assess participants’ perceptions of the cultural, social, environmental, and economic impacts of the event, while the single open-ended question allowed for the free expression of comments. The results indicate that, although the Carnival of Diamantina incorporates sustainable practices, challenges remain, particularly with regard to promoting equity and ensuring the effective integration of cultural and social practices.
