Race of the Waiters
The waiters who work in Santa Felicidade celebrate their day (August 11) with a party and race that brings together over 500 professionals. Manoel Ribas Avenue, between the restaurants and House of Dom Antonio Arcos, is prepared for the race, which includes tables set on the street.
Restaurant waiters gather to test their speed and skill along the Avenida Manoel Ribas (among the restaurants Casa dos Arcos and Don Antonio). Taking off with three plastic bottles in the tray full of water, every waiter must serve a guest sitting at a table, arranged in the Avenue and then continue the journey. Speed and efficiency are the essence of competition. But despite the agility, it is not just the time that accounts for the result but also the quality of service provided by the waiter. There are cash rewards and after the race, the waiters gather for a lunch.
The Waiters Race in Santa Felicidade is so important and famous that is part of the calendar of tourist events in Curitiba.
