How about taking advantage of the long weekend to enjoy an immersive experience in nature? Next Saturday, May 2, Santo Antônio do Pinhal will host the first edition of Assobio – Festival na Natureza, an event that redefines the concept of entertainment by combining minimalist design, music, and a slower pace of life.
Just 175 kilometers from São Paulo, the festival is the perfect alternative for those seeking mindful entertainment on the May 1 holiday. The event offers an experience of minimal consumption and respect for the environment, allowing the public to enjoy artistic performances in an innovative way, in the cozy setting of the Mantiqueira Mountains.
“Assobio – Festival na Natureza” brings a brand-new format to the São Paulo countryside
If you’re looking for a festival in the São Paulo countryside that breaks away from the conventional model of large stages and crowds, Assobio is the ideal destination. After all, the goal is to provide artistic moments in environmentally preserved areas, where silence and harmony with the local habitat take center stage.
So, forget the deafening sound amplifiers! At Assobio, performances take place with minimal sound interference and no visual pollution. The experience is designed so you can enjoy the performances sitting on the grass, with a privileged view of the mountains and the sounds of nature as background noise.
The festival’s curation features acoustic formats that highlight Brazilian rhythms, with instruments such as the guitar, flute, rabeca, viola caipira, and even a cappella poetry performances.
How can you participate in this sustainable experience?
The first edition of Assobio – Festival na Natureza will take place this Saturday, May 2. The program begins at 1:00 p.m. with an arts and crafts exhibition, followed by concerts until sunset, concluding with a moment of contemplation of nature.
To make the most of the experience, keep these tips in mind:
- Zero Waste: Since the festival values minimal consumption, no food will be sold on-site. Therefore, attendees should bring their own snacks, prioritizing reusable containers and collecting all their trash at the end.
- No chairs: Feel free to bring your own beach towel or mat to enjoy the performances in greater comfort.
- “Open Water”: Remember to bring your own water bottle, as there will be drinking water fountains available.
- Accessibility: The venue has steep terrain, which may make access difficult for people with reduced mobility, but there will be a designated area for people with disabilities.
- It might be cold: Temperatures tend to drop during the fall in the Mantiqueira Mountains, so remember to bring a jacket.
Now that you know, all you have to do is secure your ticket and enjoy an afternoon of well-being, mental rest, and offline connection in the Mantiqueira Mountains!
