The Oba Festival 2026 is currently taking place in Votuporanga, São Paulo, celebrating its 18th edition and attracting a large crowd of carnival enthusiasts. Scheduled for Sunday, the event features popular Brazilian artists Léo Santana, known for his contributions to bahian pagode, and Lauana Prado, a rising star in the sertanejo genre. Alongside these headline acts, the festival will also showcase the group Turma do Pagode and MC Hariel, creating a diverse lineup that is expected to draw attendees from various regions across Brazil.

Organizers claim that the Oba Festival is the largest carnival event in São Paulo, with aspirations of welcoming approximately 12,000 visitors each day at the Centro de Eventos "Helder Henrique Galera." As part of its social initiative, the festival includes a 'solidarity area' where attendees can gain free entry by donating a kilogram of non-perishable food.

The festival features exclusive spaces such as Front Stage, Camarote Lounge, and Camarote Premium (Café de la Musique), with tickets available for these premium areas through the festival's website. The strategic planning and diverse entertainment options highlight the Oba Festival's significance in the Brazilian carnival scene, attracting both local participants and tourists eager to experience the vibrant culture of São Paulo's carnival atmosphere.
