In Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, regional cultural and gastronomic festivals are being held to highlight local traditions. 

In Farroupilha, the 13th Moscatel Festival features programming from nine wineries associated with the Farroupilha Association of Wine, Sparkling Wine, Juice, and Derivatives Producers (Afavin), showcasing over 40 labels. The event seeks to promote the municipality’s status as the ‘National Capital of Moscatel’ and support the local economy.

Additionally, the inaugural Festival Tradição is taking place in Canela alongside the Festejos Farroupilhas. This event focuses on Gaúcho heritage through music, dance, poetry, and workshops, including a festival for accordionists and tastings of traditional dishes such as ‘costelão’.
