our history of fire
Churrascada was born in 2015 from our passion for barbecue, good music and the company of friends. Brazil’s first and best barbecue festival of Brazil began as a small and friendly gathering for 30 people and four years later become one of the World’s most important culinary and entertainment events bringing together dozens of chefs from all over the world and over six thousand guests. We still find it quite bizarre that Churrascada became such a lovely monster, but we also find it awesome.
Our 19th Edition in São Paulo counted with 70 chefs from Brazil and abroad. Masters of meat and fire of the five continents presenting their creations during two days. All this with by loads of cold beer, two music stages, twelve bands and special attractions like the first edition of Butcher Wars.

After 2 years of pandemic we can't wait to get back at it and are preparing the best party ever. Stay tuned
