The city also has the tradition of pioneering and was the first in the country to use electric light, replacing gas lighting, as well as the first to adopt the aluminum packaging for beer and soft drinks. The old Caracu building (now occupied by a university), is an icon of this pioneering spirit.
Another Rio Claro's peculiarity is the high number of people who use bicycle as a means of transport, utilizing of the flat and wide streets of the projected city.
The city' anniversary is on June 24, when the festivities are added to the homage to the patron saint, Saint John the Baptist.
