Overview
- The six-day festival ended on Sunday, August 30, 2026, at Parque Villa-Lobos with roughly 35,000 people passing through the Ilha Musical tent.
- Organizers staged a curated food tent of about 20 restaurants offering chef-driven 'SP Gastronomia' dishes priced up to R$30 alongside daily workshops and family programming.
- A daily headline-music program anchored the event and closed with Silva’s 'De férias no Brasil' tour while performers across the run included Gabriel O Pensador, Péricles, Ferrugem and Mãeana.
- Participating chefs reported strong demand and intensive logistics, with signature hits such as Holy Burger’s x-bacon and A Casa do Porco’s porco San Zé selling out and teams starting prep in the early hours.
- The festival is presented under Lei Rouanet with corporate and municipal sponsors supporting discounts and ticketing partnerships, and organizers will stage Rio Gastronomia from September 17 to October 4, 2026, using the same format.
