The Saravá Fest
Saravá Fest is more than a festival: it is a call to memory, joy, and belonging.
We believe that we can only know where we are going if we understand where we come from. That is why we celebrate the Afro-Brazilian roots that guide us to this day — through music, dance, food, and the spirituality that echoes in the drums.
Saravá is a space to honor the past, live the present, and open pathways to the future.

Line-Up
The Music
Music is the heart of the festival.
At Saravá Fest, Brazilian rhythms come alive on stage: samba de roda, inviting everyone to sing and clap along; forró, bringing couples together in warm, joyful steps; and MPB (Brazilian Popular Music), carrying poetry and emotion in every song.
These sounds make us smile, dance, and feel the spirit of Brazil.
Roda de Samba
OUR SPIRIT
More than just entertainment, Saravá Fest promotes diversity, community connection, and a welcoming sense of belonging for all. This event is pet and kid friendly — bring the whole family along!
The Dance
In Afro-Brazilian culture, dance is more than art — it is a living memory of the African diaspora.
The movements of the hips, the sway of the body, and the rhythm of the feet carry ancestral knowledge that crossed the Atlantic with enslaved Africans and transformed into new expressions in Brazil.
