The Virada Cultural Sesc DF festival debuted in Brasília on August 15 and 16, 2026. Organized by Sesc-DF, the inaugural event transformed the Setor Comercial Sul into a continuous 36-hour circuit of music, art, and culture.

Inspired by similar events in São Paulo, the festival offered free admission across nine stages and at the Teatro Sesc Silvio Barbato. The programming aimed to promote local production and connect Brasília’s artistic scene with national figures, featuring urban art, humor, and various musical performances. 

Local collectives and parties, such as Sarau Secreto, Play, Boogie, and Samba da Passarinha, participated in the event to encourage community integration and the occupation of the city center.
