In late July 2026, Curitiba’s municipal government and local cultural institutions launched a dense schedule of events. On Thursday, the programme featured singer‑songwriter Cí Cí Cero at Teatro Fernanda Montenegro, a New‑Orleans‑style jazz concert by D House, a country‑ and southern‑rock night at Crossroads, and the 10th‑anniversary Boqueirão Fashion runway. Teatro Guaíra staged the play “Ainda Antígona,” while the José Maria Santos theatre offered a free performance. The contemporary production “Nebulosa de Baco” ran at the Guairinha theatre from 6 to 9 August.

Simultaneously, the city inaugurated the free‑admission Festival Erva‑Mate e Café, part of the Inverno Curitiba 2026 cultural programme. Hosted at the Boca Maldita venue on historic Rua XV de Novembro on July 31‑August 1, the festival showcased regional mate and coffee through live music, nine themed attractions, tastings, workshops and “spa” experiences. It was organized by the municipal government via Curitiba Turismo, the Fundação Cultural de Curitiba and the food‑security secretariat, in partnership with Abrasel, the Associação Comercial do Paraná, Embrapa Florestas, moviMENTE Curitiba Gastronômica, Sebrae and Senac. Additional activities—including mate‑circles, coffee‑spa sessions and training courses delivered by the Escola de Turismo—continued across the city through August 8, underscoring a coordinated effort to promote Curitiba’s music, theatre, fashion and culinary traditions.
