Known for their ingenious folding technique and their ornaments, the walking-canes of Gestaçô are also widely known by the university students, as every year over 20 thousand walking-canes are made by the artisans of this Parish for the queima das fitas (Portuguese for ribbon-burning) university festivities all over the country.
