    • Impact of Covid-19

      10th Anniversary Festival Postponed to 2021

       

      Dear community & friends,

       

      It is with great disappointment that due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, we have decided to postpone the Brasil Summerfest 10th anniversary festival to 2021. There are still many uncertainties in New York and in Brazil, and we want to be sure that we can hold our event in a safe and festive environment. Unfortunately, that time is not now. The health and safety of our fans, artists, families and community remains our top priority.

       

      As a festival dedicated to the music & culture of Brazil, our mission of delivering the finest of Brazilian programming in New York City is more important than ever for many reasons. And Brasil Summerfest is more than just an extraordinary celebration of Brazil’s music, art and culture. It is a community built by our shared love of Brazil.

       

      We will remain committed to the artists and programming we had planned to present this year and reschedule for 2021. We want to thank our sponsors and partners for their commitment and understanding during these challenging times.

       

      Thank you & stay safe,

       

      Petrit Pula

      Founder & Director

    • History

      "This fest has become one of the most anticipated musical showcases"

      - NY Daily News

      There’s an energy that fuels Brazil impossible to put into words. So it overflows in music, color and spice. People try to describe it but the only way is to experience it. Since its launch in 2011, Brasil Summerfest has offered a taste of that energy, becoming the largest and most important international Brazilian music festival in the world. The festival, produced by People Time Entertainment, showcases the finest selection of Brazilian music. Ranging from traditional to contemporary styles, they are connected by their ability to stir that intense energy. Recently, the two week-long festival has expanded to include film, food, art and talks, making it a true cultural display of contemporary Brazil. Brasil Summerfest’s mission is to keep pushing cultural boundaries, spreading Brazil’s contagious fever to the wide New York public and beyond.
