This study aims to verify, departing from the informational cycle defined by Le Coadic (1996), the ways by which information is produced, transmitted and used in community festivals. One of the objectives is to identify which are the main social agents and institutions responsible for the weaving of the information net; also, who are the festival´s mediators, as well as the communication channels used for broadcasting the event. The forms of communication are responsible for the network of meaning that circulates in the festival; in those, it is possible to perceive a strong feeling of belonging to the tradition of local cultural values on the part of community members who attend the celebrations. The field research was conducted at German-settled rural communities in the city of Estrela – Rio Grande do Sul. The informational cycle is fed and re-fed by a net of significant information which entangles the community festivals and, at the same time, manages to strengthen the group identity ties with local culture. Thus, this weaving of information is responsible for the transmission and preservation of community values and the tradition of partying.Downloads
