On November 24, Avenida Paulista will host the 1st Pistachio Festival, an unprecedented event that promises to whet the taste buds of São Paulo residents. After all, at this gastronomic fair, it will be possible to taste the most varied delicacies made with this fruit that has conquered the most demanding palates.
The event takes place from 12pm to 8pm at Club Homs, just 50 meters from the Brigadeiro subway station. Admission is free, but there is also the option of a solidarity ticket for R$5 (the money raised goes to the Início de Luz project, which supports children in situations of social vulnerability).
So don’t miss this real pistachio party. Mark your calendar and check out all the details below.
Pistachio Festival promises a unique gastronomic experience
The Pistachio Festival is organized by Espaço As Meninas Feiras e Eventos and celebrates this delicacy that has been eaten since 6,000 BC.
According to Elaine Vilela, creator of the festival and producer of the event, the idea is to offer visitors a complete experience. “I’m one of the people who love pistachios, which is another reason why I’m guaranteeing a very special festival,” she says.
Visitors will be able to enjoy:
- Handmade pistachio ice cream;
- Gourmet pistachio cakes, pies and sweets;
- Savory dishes that incorporate pistachios as a special ingredient.
In addition to the pistachio-based delicacies, the event will be a real meeting point for food fair lovers. This is because the 13th Cocoa and Coffee Festival is taking place at the same time.
In addition, as the end-of-year festivities approach, the Christmas Desserts Festival will bring an explosion of aromas and flavors in anticipation of the festivities.
Unmissable attractions and cultural program
Finally, as a good festival isn’t just about gastronomy, visitors will be able to enjoy a range of attractions. Among the options are:
- “Back to Broadway 3” Benefit Show: Performances at 3pm and 6pm with multi-artist Luiz Guarany, performing songs from famous musicals such as Chicago, The Showman, Chorus Line and Frozen.
- DJ Dinho Garcia: Known in São Paulo nightclubs, the DJ will liven up the event with a musical selection that includes MPB, flashback, pop, rock and electronic music.
- Mãos Criativas (Creative Hands) Fair – Special Christmas Edition: An opportunity to anticipate the end-of-year shopping season with handmade and original products inspired by the magic of Christmas, ideal for gifting and decorating.
- Solidarity Tree: The festival marks the return of this initiative which collects toys and non-perishable food for charitable organizations in the city.
