São Paulo´s LGBT Pride - the best parties and discos to dance
 |
| Avenida Paulista, where every year, at june, the São Paulo gay pride is celebrated |
As the São Paulo´s gay pride celebration aproaches, I´ve been searching for the best parties, as many friends have asked about it.
So, let´s post about it!
First of all, GLBT people comming from around the world will meet at sunday´s june 18th at Avenida Paulista for the biggest gay pride of the world!

The Week, the most famous brazillian gay disco and gay parties promoters, is promoting itis traditional Eterna Festival, which hosts lots of parties beggining this weekend until sunday 18th.
Tickets can be bought at www.theweek.com.br and www.ticket360.com.br
If you are already at SP, those sites list places where tickets can be bought personally, generally with cash.
Eterna Festival is composed by the parties Safado at Unique hotel, Marathon, Girassol and Circuit at The Week.
Searching today, SAFADO party at Unique hotel seems to be sold out at the internet.
Ticket 360 says to call during weekdays.
On saturday, The Week is promoting Girassol, a pool party which begins 5pm saturday and Circuit, 23h30pm at TW place (Rua Guaicurus, 324 - Lapa, São Paulo - SP).
Girassol is yet 40 reais and Circuit is 50 reais (today´s prices).
The Dutch mega-party Milk Shake will be held in SP for its first time, and tickets are available starting from 170 reais plus 17 reais convenience fee. It begins friday 6pm until saturday morning. The proposal is a mega-party with brazillian and international music, open to all tribes, not just LGBT. It will be held at Francisco Matarazzo Avenue, at Barra Funda neighbourhood (rechable through the red line subway, Barra Funda station, taxis, uber etc).
As long as tickets are sold, prices get higher, so better hurry up.
Another option is to go to regular clubs, off the festivals.
For those who don´t want to spend that much with festivals, or simply prefer a regular kind-of-disco, some options are very good, but for sure there will be huge entrance lines.
Eventually dresscode is demanded, but here in Brazil hosts cannot reject people from getting inside a club without an objective reason such as dresscode. So, if you fit, and if you pay, for sure you´re gonna get in, no matter how long it takes.
For gay man, Lions Club on friday´s is a very good option. Saturdays hosts more mixed-people events. Located at the the old city centre, it has a big terrace with a lovely view of the Metropolitan Cathedral´s dome.
Yacht is more for pop music and diva lovers. Located at Bexiga, one of the oldest italian neighbourhoods, it has a beautifull light system, and handsome barmen dressing as sailors.
And Bubu, at Rua dos Pinheiros, 791 - Pinheiros, São Paulo -, is granted fun for singles. Fridays are the gay men nights, and saturdays, the lesbian nights - just look at the prices to see the night you will suit the better. Thursday 15 there will be a special lesbian night.
PanAm, at the rooftop of Macksoud Plaza hotel is also a very nice disco-bar, with an astonishing view of the city.
