Oktoberfest celebrations in Rio Grande do Sul and Brazil

Overview

Regional Oktoberfest celebrations continue to expand across Brazil, highlighting German heritage through music, gastronomy, and tradition. In Rio Grande do Sul, the 37th Oktoberfest in Igrejinha is scheduled for October 9 to 18 at the Almiro Grings Event Park, featuring over 80 attractions and a focus on sustainability through the use of recycled materials for decorations. Other major festivities include the Porto Alegre event, which is scheduled for October 10, 2026, in the Historic Center, featuring a thematic parade and the band Cachorro Grande. Celebrations also continue in Petrópolis and Gramado.

In Blumenau, the 41st edition at Parque Vila Germânica features international musical acts such as Dorfrocker and Die Kirchdorfer, alongside new musical releases from Quarteto Schmitt. While the opening of the traditional Hofbräuhaus brewery in the city was postponed due to heavy rainfall, the festival remains a major attraction. Notably, pets dressed in traditional German attire, such as Fritz and Frida costumes, have become a popular feature of the event, which allows animals to participate on weekdays.

In Santa Cruz do Sul, the 41st Oktoberfest is scheduled to run until October 25, aiming to exceed the 420,000 visitors recorded in 2025. Additionally, the 26th Oktoberfest in Pato Bragado has held celebrations including allegorical parades and charitable dinners to benefit the Dr. Rodolfo Vilela Philanthropic Association.
