Halloween: See 10 themed parties to spend the night in costume in São Paulo

If the witch seems to be on the loose this week that brings together Halloween, the second round of elections and the All Souls’ holiday, also celebrated as the Day of the Dead, the nightlife in São Paulo does the trick.

Parties throughout São Paulo invest in macabre decoration, in costume and makeup contests, in the distribution of themed accessories available to partygoers and even in showing horror films at night.

Carnival blocks such as Ritaleena, Bloco Emo and Agrada Gregos assume their macabre versions for the date. Even trapper Matuê takes the opportunity to make a matinee with ice cream and açaí open.

Check out, below, options to enjoy Halloween in São Paulo.

The forest

The brewed Amata, a bar in Pinheiros, has a party that takes the Mystical Forest theme and inserts characters related to Brazilian folklore in its environment full of plants. Those who go get a drink at the entrance and can check out the surprise attraction that the house provides for the night – with themed makeup on the face, also offered by the space. DJs from the city still command two environments with a mixture of funk and electronic music.

Cafe Hotel Bar

Inspired by horror classics that use hotels as a backdrop, such as “O Iluminado” (1980) and “Psicose” (1960), the bar in Pinheiros prepares the night with makeup artists and props available. The menu is also special with themed drinks such as the Halloween Hotel (R$ 45), red as blood, and DJs Nasi and Léo Ruas, who DJ on vinyl, do the honors.

Taking a ride on the music of their muse, Rita Lee, the Ritaleena group makes a very Brazilian Halloween and revisits, with a carnivalesque feel, the singer’s hits. The recommendation is to go with red, the group’s official color.

Halloween Pleases Greeks

The well-known São Paulo Carnival block unites revelry with darkness in the second edition of its Halloween party, which will have two dance floors — one dedicated to pop and axé, with DJs from the block and groups such as Minhoqueens and Meu Santo É Pop, and another dedicated to tribal house, with names like Las Bibas From Vizcaya and Armando Saullo. The night still has the best costume contest, with more than R$ 3,000 in prizes.

Halloween with Matuê

The trapper, who released the song “Vampiro” this year alongside WIU and Teto, takes the opportunity to throw a party in a horror atmosphere — but a matinee version, for people between 12 and 17 years old. In addition to Matuê’s show, the sound is commanded by DJ Pedro Vaz. The highlight is the open bar and three-hour open food with all-you-can-eat soda, water, ice cream, açaí and snacks.

Haunted Mansion

The 19th-century mansion in downtown São Paulo could be scary in its own right — but the party invokes “the tormented spirits of those who never managed to move on to the next plane” for the theme night. The sound is divided into two tracks — the first with funk, trap and electro; the second with pop, reggaeton and “bagaceira”. The night has a costume contest with prizes, screenings and cinema with horror films, tattoos with themed drawings, among other attractions.

In addition to the themed makeup, guests will also be treated to rock, emo and pop punk classics from bands like Simple Plan, Blink-182, Paramore, Fresno and Nx Zero. The open bar is open from 11pm to 5am with drinks such as beer, vodka, catuaba, energy drinks and drinks.
