On the last Sunday (6), the first day with sold-out tickets of Rock in Rio was marked by rain at City of Rock, in the Southwest Zone of Rio de Janeiro. The fans who attended the festival, which featured shows by Calvin Harris and The Black Eyed Peas, had to deal with the downpour throughout the entire program.
The rain, however, brought a business opportunity for dozens of street vendors who circulated around the festival grounds. The merchants took advantage of the storm to sell rain ponchos to those who didn't want to get wet during the shows.
Among the vendors was Ronaldo Pereira, a 65-year-old security guard who works at major events and decided to take advantage of the weekend rain forecast to earn some extra money selling rain ponchos. He was approaching customers at the BRT station near the event venue.
