A living taste of the Amazon's most celebrated festival, served year-round.
The Parintins Folklore Dinner brings the spirit of Brazil's legendary Boi-Bumbá festival directly to your table, offering an immersive cultural experience that most travelers never get to witness outside of June. In a single hour, guests are treated to rhythmic dancing, regional cuisine, and the unmistakable energy of the Amazon.
The Parintins festival is widely regarded as one of the most visually spectacular folk celebrations in all of South America, yet it runs for just three days each year. This themed dinner was created precisely to bridge that gap, giving visitors a genuine encounter with Amazonian tradition regardless of when they arrive.
Beyond the performance, the evening is designed as a full sensory experience. The menu draws on the extraordinary biodiversity of the Amazon basin, presenting ingredients and flavors that are deeply tied to the region's indigenous and riverside communities.
Guests can expect exotic drinks crafted from local fruits, desserts that reflect generations of culinary tradition, and a standard of presentation that rivals fine dining. The result is an evening that is at once educational, festive, and genuinely delicious.
