The Churrasco On Fire festival, a project by the musical duo Fernando e Sorocaba, successfully completed its fourth consecutive edition in São Paulo at the Parque Villa-Lobos Ferris wheel lawn. The event drew approximately 6,000 attendees with sold-out tickets and featured a three-hour performance by the duo.

Managed by the ‘Team On Fire’, a group of approximately 300 pitmasters, the festival provided a premium open barbecue experience with over 50 stations serving meat cuts such as picanha, ancho, chorizo, and brisket. Notable gastronomic highlights included bacon with cotton candy and seafood options like salmon and pirarucu. The setup utilized the ‘Máquina do Churrasco’ gourmet structure and featured unique elements such as a ‘Ferris wheel of special cuts’ and a hamburger delivery slide.

Following its success in Brazil, including an expansion to Jacareí, the festival is making its international debut in Dallas, Texas, at Main Street Garden Park. This move follows an invitation from the city government and aims to merge Brazilian barbecue and sertanejo music with American barbecue and country music traditions. To support this expansion, a Brazilian team of 50 professionals, including 20 specialized grill masters from Team On Fire, is traveling to the United States. This international step aligns with the duo’s recent engagement with the U.S. country music scene, including performing at the Grand Ole Opry.
