The city's nightlife is studded with an array of LGBTQ+ bars and clubs, notably in trendy neighborhoods like Pinheiros and Bela Vista, offering everything from lively dance floors at places like Bubu Lounge and Club Yacht to the world-famous gay club, The Week. You can actually just have a drink, or stay for full show.

The headline event is Parada do Orgulho LGBT+ de São Paulo, usually in June on Avenida Paulista, with a packed calendar of parties and cultural programs around it.

June gives you Pride and peak nightlife, but it also brings higher prices and busier streets, so book early. Read our review of Soda Pop Bar, it’s a very popular spot for early evening hangouts.
Av. Lekitsch is surrounded by independent performance spaces, and a dozen other cool nightspots.
