Orquídea Fest Poá 2026 brings together flowers, cuisine, and live music all in one place this weekend! Located about 40 kilometers from the capital, the event attracts residents from all over Greater São Paulo with its programming for all ages and free concerts by artists such as Péricles.
In addition to the stages, Orquídea Fest features a flower exhibition and market, a food court, and activities for families. And you don’t even need to take your car out of the garage: just take Line 11-Coral (Estudantes) to Poá Station, which is 750 meters from the event!
Orquídea Fest 2026 celebrates Poá’s tradition with flowers and leisure
The festival’s origins date back to 1970, when the city government established an annual festival to celebrate orchids. Since then, the event has drawn around 160,000 people each year, featuring an exhibition of flowers and ornamental plants, a craft fair, and cultural attractions.
This year’s featured country is Italy, in honor of the immigrants who helped build Poá. That’s why the food court serves Italian culinary delights, such as focaccia, gnocchi, and pasta dishes.
For those with children, Sunday’s kids’ program is a surefire option for weekend fun. Kids can enjoy shows featuring the Paw Patrol and Chiquinho, inflatable play areas, and free treats (like popcorn and cotton candy).

The music lineup makes Orquídea Fest Poá 2026 one of the weekend’s highlights. This Friday, the 25th, Wesley Safadão takes the stage with hits from electronic forró and piseiro, perfect for fans of contemporary Northeastern Brazilian music.
On Saturday, the 26th, the duo Marcos & Belutti brings sertanejo music to the lineup. With romantic songs and catchy choruses, the artists offer an unmissable night of live music just a few kilometers from São Paulo!
Finally, Péricles will close out the festival with a show packed with samba and pagode on Sunday, the 27th. To hit the dance floor, you must donate 1 kg of the food item corresponding to that day; the complete list is available here.
As a result, Orquídea Fest Poá 2026 brings together diverse audiences in a single celebration: flowers during the day, cuisine for all tastes, and free performances at night.
