Events Sao Paulo Gay Parade © Alessandra Saraiva The Sao Paulo Gay Parade is one of the city's major tourist events and is the highlight of a month-long programme of events that includes parties, street fairs, film festivals, shows and the traditional Gay Day at Hopi Hari amusement park. The LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transvestite and Transsexual) Parade is the biggest event of its kind in the world, having grown from 2,000 people in 1997 to over three million people today, who gather on the streets waving rainbow flags in condemnation of homophobia, racism and sexism. Venue: Ave. Paulista; Date: 25 May 2008; Website: www.paradasp.org.br  Michael Schumacher © Rick Dikeman Site of the final race of the Formula One season, the bumpy Interlagos Circuit is not a favourite with the drivers, but for spectators it is one of the most thrilling and vibrant of circuits. The stands are often filled with Brazilian green and yellows as locals of Sao Paulo cheer on their resident native and 2006 winner Filipe Massa. The track is 10 miles (16km) away from the city centre. Venue: Autódromo José Carlos Pace (Interlagos); Date: 2 November 2008; Time: 2-4pm; Website: www.gpbrasil.com.br |
