São Paulo Oktoberfest returns to Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, Brazil, from September 18 to October 4, 2026 — German beer, food and music on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. The post São Paulo Oktoberfest 2026: Brazil’s Biggest German Beer Festival Takes Over Ibirapuera Park September 18–October 4 appeared first on The Rio Times .
São Paulo Oktoberfest 2026 brings Brazil's largest German beer festival to Ibirapuera Park from September 18 to October 4. The festival spans three weekends, with Friday evenings running from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and weekends from 2 p.m. to 11 p.m., concluding at the Ibirapuera Arena de Eventos. Expect German beer, food including pork knuckle, pretzels, and Apfelstrudel, alongside live German and rock bands like Queen, the Beatles, and Elton John.
Tickets can be purchased via Ticketmaster Brasil. For expats from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, this São Paulo edition is the closest thing to a Wiesn weekend in the southern hemisphere's spring. The park is accessible via metro stations AACD-Servidor or Brigadeiro, and families tend to arrive on Saturdays. Cool evenings in São Paulo call for a light jacket.
Complement the festival experience with MASP's 'Histórias latino-americanas' exhibition or a Bienal do Livro visit, both running during the same period. Beer-festival enthusiasts can also add IPA Day Belo Horizonte, scheduled for September 26, an hour's flight away.
