Rio Nightlife Guide for Saturday, July 7, 2018

We have the top three picks for this Saturday, and below there is a list of bars and lounges that are always a good option.

PARTY:
Arraiá do Odisséia @ Teatro Odisséia (Lapa) – July 7th is the traditional Arraiá of the Teatro Odisséia. So it’s time once more to get out the straw hat, the plaid shirt, and dance some quadrilhas.

Free entry until midnight (with a limit of fifty tickets) if you write your name on the wall of the event page.

Otherwise tickets start at R$10 + entry without queueing.

The night starts at 11:30PM and won’t stop until 5:30AM

Expect typical June/July themed decoration. There will be traditional sweets on sale plus a hot dog stand and plenty of fun games, challenges and surprises.

DJ Viny Moreira and DJ Luk Andrade will be providing the soundtrack: funk, pop, hits and plenty of June and July music!

PARTY:
Nando Luiz @ Woods Rio (Leblon) – Woods’ Saturday will be a true tribute to the most popular music genre in Brazil, sertenejo, for everyone to sing at the top of their lungs!

Nando Luiz will be playing live. Singer and composer, Nando says that music has always been present in his life. He started to sing as a child in Ibirarema, in the interior of São Paulo, a small city with less than 7000 inhabitants.

Today, at the age of 26, he is forging a successful solo career. Wherever he goes he wins the audience over with simple charm, pleasant voice and with a charisma that impresses.

DJ Flex will provide the music after the show.

Tickets are from R$30-R$50 depending on the time of entry and the show starts at 11PM.

PARTY:
Long set @ Comuna (Botafogo) – This edition arrives in a valedictory mood, as the great friend of Comuna, Vkira, is leaving the country next month.

For those who attend regularly know that this DJ is one of the most appreciated especially when taking part in the back to back long sets.

So this will be a great party, hosted by Gabriel Najhar, and tribute to one of Comuna’s most loved DJs, Vkira.
