Farroupilha festivities in Rio Grande do Sul

Overview

The 2026 Farroupilha festivities in Rio Grande do Sul concluded with significant cultural and economic milestones. In Porto Alegre, the Acampamento Farroupilha at Parque Harmonia ended its celebrations, centered on the theme ‘Jesuit and Guarani Heritage, 400 Years of Culture and Tradition’. The event, which featured 236 local encampments (piquetes) and the traditional extinguishing of the ‘Chama Crioula’ ceremony, saw high attendance that may surpass the previous year’s record of 2 million visitors. Economic projections suggest a potential 15% revenue increase over the R$ 70 million recorded in 2025.

Regional celebrations continued through September 20th with parades honoring state history. In São Leopoldo, the 26th edition of the Feitoria neighborhood parade included approximately 55 entities, such as schools and marching bands, despite rainy weather. In Sapucaia do Sul, festivities drew 1,200 riders and over ten trucks in a procession starting at the Jayme Caetano Braun Event Park. In Camaquã, the inaugural Farroupilha Camp at Parque do Sindicato Rural attracted more than 20,000 people, with organizers noting that the rural competition segment exceeded expectations by 40%.

Additional regional events expanded the celebrations toward the end of September. In Parobé, the 3rd Municipal Farroupilha Rodeio at Fazenda TE featured traditionalist competitions, including individual and team lassoing and ‘Vaca Parada’ for children, with participation from various CTGs. Meanwhile, in Chapecó, the 5th edition of the ‘Melhor Churrasqueiro do Oeste’ (Best BBQ Chef of the West) was held during the 22nd Acampamento Farroupilha. The competition required chefs to prepare meats like ribs, pork, chicken, and lamb using direct grill work without skewers or aluminum foil.

International celebrations also occurred, including a ‘mateada’ in New York’s Times Square and the ‘Vikings de Bombacha’ camp in Oslo, Norway.
