Gramado announces dates and attractions for Natal Luz 2026

The 41st edition of Natal Luz Gramado has been scheduled to run from October 22, 2026, to January 17, 2027. The 88-day festival in the Serra Gaúcha region will feature a mix of paid spectacles and free public activities, including the Vila de Natal and performances at the Palco Rua Coberta.

Key attractions include the Grande Desfile de Natal, which will move to the Expogramado event center due to construction on Avenida das Hortênsias. The parade will feature over 400 characters across 39 presentations. Other major highlights include Nativitaten at Serra Park, a water-based production, and musical performances such as Natal Luz In Concert at the Palácio dos Festivais.

In preparation for the event, organizers have announced the selection of 45 local artists following two rounds of auditions. These performers will join a cast of hundreds to serve as skaters, dancers, actors, and circus artists for the upcoming season.
