White Party 2026

  • The November edition is a private celebration rather than a conventional ticketed circuit party.
  • Organisers Rodrigo Zanardi and Rogério Figueiredo continue the event’s charitable tradition, asking guests to donate toys that will be distributed to children during the Christmas season.

Dress Code

White is the defining look of the party.

  • Make white the principal colour of your outfit.

  • Accessories can add colour without losing the White Party theme.

Lineup

The DJ and entertainment programme for the November 2026 edition has not yet been announced.

The Venue

Prince Tower – Rua Mamoré 305, Bom Retiro, São Paulo.

  • Prince Tower is a large events complex in Bom Retiro, north of the historic centre.
  • The venue regularly hosts private celebrations, parties and large social events, with indoor event spaces suited to the special White Party format.
  • Bom Retiro is away from São Paulo’s principal gay nightlife districts, so a taxi or rideshare is the simplest way to reach the event from Jardins, Paulista or Consolação.
  • Entry to this edition: contact Fresh Party on the official White Party Instagram for ticket info

Where to Stay in São Paulo

Stay around Jardins, Avenida Paulista or Consolação rather than beside Sonora Garden. You’ll have better hotels, restaurants and easy access to São Paulo’s principal gay nightlife, then take a taxi or rideshare to the party.

  • Tivoli Mofarrej São Paulo – Best for luxury. A five-star Jardins hotel with a pool, spa and sophisticated rooms just off Avenida Paulista.
  • Renaissance São Paulo Hotel – Best for gay nightlife. A five-star hotel close to Paulista, Rua Augusta and Frei Caneca, putting several gay venues within easy reach.
  • InterContinental São Paulo – Best for Avenida Paulista. An upscale hotel one block from Paulista with spacious rooms, outdoor pool and easy access to Jardins.
  • Pullman São Paulo Ibirapuera – Best for a quieter five-star stay. Contemporary rooms, pool, sauna and fitness facilities near Ibirapuera Park.

Gay São Paulo – Before the Party

White Party is a Sunday event, so start around Augusta, Frei Caneca or República before heading to Canindé. The neighbourhoods offer very different sides of São Paulo’s gay scene, from street bars to cruising venues.

  • Bofetada Club – Rua Peixoto Gomide 131. LGBTQ+ bar and club close to Frei Caneca with DJs, karaoke and a busy Sunday crowd.
  • Bar da Lôca – Rua Peixoto Gomide 106. No-frills gay-popular bar where much of the socialising happens on the pavement. A classic meeting point around Frei Caneca.
  • Eagle São Paulo – Rua Augusta 538. Men-only cruising bar with two bars, dance floor, video room, cabins, darkroom and rooftop. Particularly popular with bears and mature guys.
  • ABC Bailão – Rua Marquês de Itu 182. Long-running LGBTQ+ club known for a mature crowd and a soundtrack moving through disco, retro dance and pop.
  • Soda Pop Bar – Avenida Vieira de Carvalho 43. Relaxed gay bar around Largo do Arouche, particularly popular with bears and mature guys.
  • Vezpa Bar & Rooftop – Rua Matias Aires 67. LGBTQ+-friendly cocktail bar and rooftop close to Rua Augusta, suited to drinks before moving on to the main event.

Getting to Prince Tower

  • Prince Tower is at Rua Mamoré 305 in Bom Retiro.
  • Take a taxi or rideshare from Paulista, Jardins or Consolação. São Paulo traffic can change journey times considerably, particularly on major event weekends.
  • Arrange your return journey rather than planning to walk back towards the central gay districts.

Other Gay Events in São Paulo

  • São Paulo Pride – June. One of the world’s largest Pride celebrations, centred on the huge Avenida Paulista parade.
  • São Paulo Carnival – February. Carnival brings blocos, gay parties and major club events across the city.
