Around 4 million expected.
- Jônatas Belgrande – “It’s Written in MPB” at Bona (Sumaré, R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101), 8 pm, via Eventim — the Rio de Janeiro singer-songwriter performs Brazilian popular music (MPB) reinterpretations and original songs from his coming album “Démodé,” in an intimate voice-and-guitar set in the 120-capacity room.

- Blue Note SP has no show today. D-Edge does not open on Sundays. Casa de Francisca is closed Sundays.
- Sunday is HIGH confidence: the 30th Pride Parade is one of the largest gatherings in the world, and Jônatas Belgrande at Bona is the right intimate evening to close it out.
Tonight in São Paulo
Sunday June 7 brings the 30th São Paulo LGBT+ Pride Parade to Av. Paulista — 4 million expected, 14 sound trucks, Gloria Groove, Pabllo Vittar, Urias and Melody. Theme: “the street calls, the ballot box confirms.” Three decades of mobilisation on a clear São Paulo Sunday.
For the evening, after the parade disperses and the city re-settles, Jônatas Belgrande performs “It’s Written in MPB” at Bona in Sumaré at 8 pm — just voice and guitar, MPB reinterpretations and originals, the intimate 120-capacity room a natural counterpoint to a day on Av.

Top Picks Tonight
30th São Paulo LGBT+ Pride Parade
The 30th São Paulo Pride Parade — typically 4 million participants — returns to Av. Paulista. Fourteen sound trucks; highlights include Pabllo Vittar with Urias (Pabllo marking 10 years in music), Gloria Groove, Melody and Thiago Pantaleão.
The crowd gathers near Rua Peixoto Gomide (by MASP) from 10 am. The sound trucks begin moving toward Consolação between noon and 1 pm. Free; no ticket required. Bring water — the afternoon crowd density pushes the feels-like temperature up sharply. The city traffic authority (CET) closes Av. Paulista between Rua da Consolação and Av. Angélica to vehicles.
Jônatas Belgrande — “It’s Written in MPB” · Bona
Jônatas Belgrande is a Rio de Janeiro singer-songwriter — an emerging name in Brazilian popular music (MPB) since his 2022 debut “Coisa Rara”. His viral line — “In Portuguese you say ‘I love you,’ but in MPB you say…” — grew into “It’s Written in MPB”: reinterpretations and original songs from his coming album “Démodé”. Sold out across Brazil’s Southeast.
The voice-and-guitar format in Bona’s 120-capacity room is exactly the right register for the end of a parade day. Buy on Eventim before you go; Bona does not take walk-ups. The restaurant and bar open from 6 pm if you want dinner first.
After the Parade — Baixo Augusta and Vila Madalena
As the sound trucks disperse, the crowd flows into Consolação, Baixo Augusta and Vila Madalena. The Sunday after the parade is one of the year’s most festive informal bar nights — no show to commit to, no ticket, the city still humming.
The right pick for anyone who wants to extend the parade’s energy without a concert ticket. Baixo Augusta is five minutes on foot from the Consolação metro end of the route; Vila Madalena is 15 minutes by Uber from the MASP end.
02
Suggested Routes
- Full day Parade 10 am–4 pm on Av. Paulista, post-parade drinks in Baixo Augusta from 5 pm, an Uber to Bona for Jônatas Belgrande at 8 pm — eat at Bona from 6 pm, show at 8 pm, out by 10:30 pm. Vila Madalena metro or an Uber home.
- Afternoon only Join the parade from noon for the sound trucks, leave by 3 pm, head to Vila Madalena or Pinheiros for the afternoon bar circuit — the quiet end of a loud day.
- Evening only Skip the parade crowd, eat at Bona from 6 pm, Jônatas Belgrande at 8 pm, out by 10:30 pm — the intimate MPB evening in Sumaré while the city recovers from the day.
03
Still Going After 10 pm
Jônatas Belgrande ends around 10:30 pm. The Baixo Augusta strip runs all night — the Sunday after the parade is one of its busiest of the year. D-Edge does not open on Sundays. The Pinheiros and Vila Madalena bar circuit runs to midnight.
The week ahead in São Paulo: Blue Note SP has no show until Tuesday or Wednesday. Bona’s next confirmed show is not yet listed. The quieter post-parade week begins Monday.
04
Getting Around
- Parade access Metro strongly recommended — Consolação, Trianon-MASP and Brigadeiro on Line 2 (Green) all serve Av. Paulista. Av. Paulista is closed to vehicles during the parade. Don’t plan to take an Uber to the parade; arrange one to Consolação or Brigadeiro metro instead.
- Post-parade surge Uber prices will spike across the Paulista corridor from 2 pm–6 pm as 4 million people leave at once. The metro is the only reliable way home from the parade. Order an Uber from a side street one block off Av. Paulista.
- Bona Vila Madalena metro, seven minutes to R. Dr. Paulo Vieira 101. Allow extra time after the parade for metro crowds; the Line 2 (Green) station at Vila Madalena will be busy until ~5 pm. From Baixo Augusta a R$10–15 Uber.
- Metro Sunday metro runs reduced hours — last trains around 10 pm. The parade may trigger extended service on Line 2 (Green); check metro announcements on the day. Plan an Uber for any return after 10 pm.
- Weather 23°C and no rain — a perfect parade day. The afternoon crowd pushes the feels-like temperature to 25–26°C; bring water and sunscreen. The evening cools to a comfortable level for the Bona walk from Vila Madalena.
- Safety The parade is heavily policed and one of the best-managed events in São Paulo. Keep valuables secure in the dense crowd. The Av. Paulista side streets after the parade are busy and well-lit; standard precautions apply after midnight.
05
Plan B
If the parade crowd is too much, all of Consolação, Vila Madalena and Pinheiros are easy to reach by metro and make natural quieter alternatives — bars, restaurants, no crowds. Bona is open from 6 pm as a restaurant and bar regardless of the show.
Across the bridge, Rio de Janeiro has Pedra do Sal from 7 pm and Bip Bip samba from 8 pm (25°C, 5% rain). Tonight São Paulo is the parade city; Rio holds the better quiet night for anyone not at the event.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the 30th São Paulo LGBT+ Pride Parade, and why is 2026 a milestone?
The São Paulo Pride Parade has been held every year since 1997, making 2026 the 30th edition. It has grown into one of the largest public gatherings in the world — recent editions have reached around 4 million participants. The event takes place on Av. Paulista, the symbolic heart of São Paulo, and is organised by the São Paulo LGBT+ Pride Parade Association (APOLGBT-SP). The 2026 theme — “30 Years of SP Pride: the street calls, the ballot box confirms” — sets the parade’s three-decade history against the current political moment, stressing participation, democracy and the link between street mobilisation and the ballot box. This year Pabllo Vittar marks 10 years in music on the Amstel sound truck alongside Urias; Gloria Groove and Melody are among the other main-stage artists across the 14 sound trucks.
Who is Jônatas Belgrande, and what is “It’s Written in MPB”?
Jônatas Belgrande is a Rio de Janeiro singer and composer who broke through with the 2022 EP “Coisa Rara” and built a following on social media with his concept — “In Portuguese you say ‘I love you,’ but in MPB you say…” — naming the emotion that each classic Brazilian song captures. His show “It’s Written in MPB” builds on that idea: MPB reinterpretations woven together with original songs from his coming album “Démodé”. The format is intimate — voice and guitar — and the shows have sold out across Brazil’s Southeast and toured abroad to Barcelona. Bona’s 120-capacity room is the right scale for this kind of close-listening, conversational show.
How do I get to and from the parade safely and efficiently?
Take the metro — Consolação, Trianon-MASP and Brigadeiro on Line 2 (Green) all put you on Av. Paulista within a few minutes. Arrive by 11 am if you want a good spot near the gathering point (by MASP, around Rua Peixoto Gomide). Av. Paulista is closed to vehicles during the parade; an Uber can’t reach the avenue and traffic diversions affect a wide area. Heading home: the metro is the only reliable option while the parade is still running. If you leave after 3 pm, once the sound trucks have dispersed, Uber prices are high but available — order from a side street off Av. Paulista, not from the avenue itself.
