The present study arises from the concern of why, some popular festivals receive more support and financial support than others. Turning to the city of Parintins, which is the stage of the Folkloric Festival of Parintins, an internationally known event, whose protagonists are the bois-bumbás Garantido and Caprichoso. This fact described becomes more evident, because the city has other popular festivals, including one as old as the bois-bumbás, such as the Pastorinhas, who receive little to no incentive, counting especially with their own efforts to stay alive. Thus, this research aimed to study the process that led the bois-bumbás Garantido and Caprichoso to achieve consecration in front of other festivities in the city of Parintins, as well as to understand the performance of the public power as a possible legitimizing instrument. To this end, this research had to look for the premises of characterizing the popular celebrations of Parintins: the Pastorinhas, the Folkloric Festival (bois-bumbás Garantido and Caprichoso); investigate the process that led the bois-bumbás Garantido and Caprichoso to become major representatives of the municipality's culture; and to analyze the perception of the components that are part of the smaller popular celebrations with the other actors involved in the cultural field of the city of Parintins (other popular festivals, the government of the state, the city hall, sponsors). This research took the aspect of a case study, with qualitative and quantitative approaches that took place through bibliographic, documentary and field research, in addition to semi-structured interviews with direct observations of the social agents of Pastorinhas and bois-bumbás Garantido and Caprichoso. All of this pointed to the understanding that even popular culture, in the figure of popular festivals, can be hierarchical. That is, to suffer the external action of a legitimate agent, who has enough power to legitimate and structure them into a hierarchy.
