When they sang that “autumn is always the same, ” it’s possible that Sandy & Junior had never spent the season in São Paulo. Joking aside, the capital of São Paulo is always full of new attractions and things to do, and this upcoming season will be no different. Check out our tips for enjoying autumn in 2026!
Get ready for a concert in the sky that combines cutting-edge technology and art. The show features hundreds of illuminated drones forming shapes in the air, all to the sound of a string ensemble performing classical music live.
It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking for things to do in the fall of 2026 and wanting to be amazed by a unique outdoor experience in São Paulo. Keep in mind that children under 3 years old get in for free.
Enjoy special set-menu options
The 36th edition of São Paulo Restaurant Week is coming! This fall, São Paulo residents will have the opportunity to enjoy set menus ( appetizer, main course, and dessert) at fixed prices. It’s your chance to experience the capital’s renowned restaurants on a budget.
Although the seasons in Brazil don’t necessarily feature the classic brown, dry leaves found abroad, fall remains a great time to appreciate the natural environment.
One example of a nature reserve to visit during this period is Serra da Cantareira State Park, in the North Zone, which stands out as the capital’s only urban forest.
Trianon Park , on the other hand, is the perfect choice for a stroll in the heart of the city. The park is located right on Paulista Avenue and features exotic tree species, as well as several artistic installations.
In 2026, the Sé Cathedral will become the stage for a magnificent journey that tells the story and captures the soul of the monument through 360° projections.
The show offers a variety of musical experiences: from digital sound versions to grand concerts with a live orchestra and choir. It is a rare opportunity to rediscover São Paulo’s ground zero in the fall, bringing together spirituality, architecture, and high-quality technology.
In 2026, how about taking advantage of the fall to travel around São Paulo? Although very popular in the winter, Campos do Jordão is also one of the favorite destinations for São Paulo residents during this season, as it already offers milder temperatures.
Another top choice is São Bento do Sapucaí, which has even been named the most hospitable destination in the country.
Even before the cold weather arrives in São Paulo in 2026, fall is already inviting us to the comfort of a sauna. In addition to relaxation, the steam bath helps with skin hydration, stress reduction, and the relief of physical discomfort.
A special suggestion for what to do in the fall of 2026: the Candlelight Concerts, where orchestras perform surrounded by thousands of candles. This season will feature tributes to various genres, such as Rock Classics, works by Vivaldi and Adele, and a tribute to Hans Zimmer, with soundtracks from Interstellar, The Lion King, Sherlock Holmes, and more.
Vote for the best snack in São Paulo
Finally, a culinary recommendation: the 2026 edition of Comida di Buteco already has a start date. During the fall, bars throughout São Paulo will serve appetizers at fixed prices while competing for the title of best bar in the capital and in Brazil.
This year’s theme will be “vegetables, ” which has surprised quite a few people. Take the opportunity to sample the participating creations!
