Why we show this: prediction markets turn real-money bets into a live probability that moves within minutes of the news, which is why investors, campaigns and newsrooms in the United States now follow them closely. We show them next to polls and official results, never instead of them.

What’s On Tonight
Zélia Duncan closes the national premiere run of Agudo Grave at the Teatro Paulo Autran, Sesc Pinheiros. The show is at 18:00 tonight, having run at 20:00 on Friday and Saturday.
Each of the four nights carried different guests, and tonight brings Maria Beraldo and Tó Brandileone. Beraldo also directs the show musically.
Tickets are R$80 (US$16) full, R$40 (US$8) concession and R$24 (US$5) on a full Sesc credential. They are sold on the Sesc São Paulo site and at the box office of any Sesc unit.
The venue is on Rua Paes Leme in Pinheiros, near Faria Lima station. Sesc rates the show A12, so it is not advised for under-12s.
Museu do Ipiranga holds its Museu em Festa for the holiday, from 09:00 to 18:00. The programme is free and includes theatre, circus, music, outdoor workshops and guided visits.
Free tickets are handed out on the day from 09:00, and last entry to the exhibitions is 17:00. A DJ set of black music closes the afternoon on the esplanade.
What Is Closed Tonight
Canto da Ema publishes a week that runs Wednesday to Sunday, so it is not normally open on a Monday. Blue Note runs Tuesday to Sunday and Casa de Francisca from Tuesday as well.
That leaves the holiday programming as the night rather than the usual circuit. Everything returns to its normal pattern from tomorrow.
The Circuit
The museum programme fills the day and ends at six. It is free, it is outdoors in part, and it is the family option.
The Pinheiros show starts at 18:00, so the two do not overlap comfortably. Choose one, and if it is the show, be at the theatre by half past five.
An 18:00 start means you are out by mid-evening on a holiday Monday. That is the shape of tonight rather than a late circuit.
Where to Go

Money and How Paying Works
Dollar figures use the Banco Central PTAX selling rate of R$5.1253 to US$1, set on Friday 4 September 2026. No rate is published on weekends or on a national holiday, so that is the most recent figure.
Sesc sells its own tickets online and at any unit box office. The concession rate needs supporting identification, and the lowest tier needs a full Sesc credential.
The museum programme costs nothing and is not ticketed in advance. Arrive early if you want the timed entries to the exhibitions.
Getting Home Safe
The metro runs an adjusted holiday timetable today, and CPTM trains and buses run at Sunday frequencies. Check your own line before you set out.
An 18:00 show finishes well inside normal service hours. That makes tonight one of the easier nights of the week to get home from.
Pinheiros stays busy and well lit in the early evening. Wait for a car in a lit spot and keep your phone away on quiet streets.
