Belo Horizonte's annual Cheese Bread Circuit, known as Circuito do Pão de Queijo, is running from Monday 17 August to Sunday 23 August 2026. The festival features a variety of free programming across the city, culminating in a street festival in Savassi on Sunday. The circuit celebrates the beloved Minas cheese bread snack, which is gluten-free due to its base ingredients of cassava starch, Minas cheese, eggs, milk, and oil.
With four days remaining as of Wednesday, the circuit offers a range of experiences, from street food tastings to guided tours of the city's tourist spots. The festival's closing event, the Festival do Pão de Queijo, takes place on Avenida Cristóvão Colombo, in the Savassi district. Belo Horizonte treats the cheese bread as civic property rather than a commercial snack, and the event is organized by the city rather than a commercial festival.
