Cultural and gastronomic tourism in Brazil and Portugal

Overview

Cultural and gastronomic tourism in Brazil and Portugal continues to expand through diverse musical, theatrical, and regional festivals. In Brazil, recent highlights include the 7th Brazilian Cordel Fair in São Paulo and the second Coffee Festival in Bragança Paulista. Regional traditions are celebrated through the Festival Vixi Maria in Guarulhos and the Festival Ventre e Voz in Natal.

Gastronomy remains a central pillar. The 26th Recife Restaurant Week is currently underway, focusing on Pernambuco cuisine, while the 28th Salvador Restaurant Week showcases flavors from ‘North to South’ of Brazil. The craft beer scene is also evolving; Oktoberfest in Blumenau has introduced the ‘Drahtesel Kuriere’ parade attraction, inspired by 1920s cargo bicycles, to replace the long-standing ‘Tricicleta do Chope’. Additionally, Uaiktoberfest 2026 in Nova Lima highlighted the region’s growing market, featuring established names like Krug Bier.

Performing arts and musical exchanges remain prominent. In Portugal, singer-songwriter MARO is beginning a Brazilian tour for her album ‘SO MUCH HAS CHANGED’, while Pernambucan artist Cylene Araújo is conducting a series of cultural activities in Portugal, including the ‘Baião em Lisboa’ show to promote Northeastern Brazilian culture. The theatrical scene continues with performances at Palacete das Rosas, featuring works from Casa LGBTQIA+, and the monologue ‘É o Otimismo que faz o Besouro Voar’ in Volta Redonda, which requires a solidarity exchange of one liter of milk for entry.
