Florianopolis Gay Carnival 2011

Be prepared! Mix Brasil, the main LGBT site in Brazil, already crowned Florianopolis the gay-est Carnival in Brazil in 2011.

Besides the Carnival parties like the Samba School Parade on Saturday night and the Pop Gay Festival on Monday night, gay guys that love to party and electronic music fans will be in for a treat.

The Week Florianópolis, elected the most beautiful gay club in Brazil by Junior magazine, confirmed the already traditional DJ's line-up for its 5 parties in Praia Mole (from 4th to 8th March): Tony Moran, Isaac Escalante, Peter Rauhofer, Juanjo Martin & Rosabel are all booked for the Floripa Club. Expect a sea of shirtless (gorgeous) men dancing day & night.

Nearby in Lagoa, E-Joy, the much loved circuit party from Sao Paulo, returns with 2 parties at the Yacht Club- Sunday 6th they bring Kelly Rowland and on Tuesday the 8th , Hugo Sanches, from Spain.

The local gay & lesbian clubs, Concorde and Mix Café open every night from 4th to 12th March and are confirming big national attractions too. Concorde also offers the only exclusive party for gay girls on Friday 4th.

Not exclusively gay but also a treat for those that enjoy e-music will be the Carnival Music Park in the POSH Club in Jurere- big names like David Guetta , Armin van Buuren, Axwell , Kaskade and Bob Sinclair are confirmed.

And to "recover", Bar do Deca, in the gay beach of Praia Mole, will have beach parties for the whole week from mid-afternoon to well after sunset.

Brazil Ecojourneys has last minute packages still available for Carnival in Florianopolis from more affordable guesthouses to luxurious high-end Villas in Praia Mole.

Bar do Deca, Praia Mole, Floripa

Bar do Deca, the most famous gay beach bar in Brazil, has DJs from 1pm until well after the sunset in Summer , so a lot of people was there last Sunday to enjoy the end of a gorgeous, sunny afternoon.

I love people watching at Deca and was amazed by the mix of nationalities there. Brazilians, Argentineans, Paraguayans, English, Germans, North Americans, Spanish...


Looks like Carnival 2010 will be great fun!

Florianopolis in the spotlight

The media conglomerate Publigayte from Germany has published, simultaneously on its 6 regional magazines, a 3 page article about Floripa written by journalist Torsten Dirk.

See below the link to the online version

Torsten, a special guest from Brazil Ecojourneys to cover Gay Carnival 2009 in Floripa, wrote:

"hot parties, beautiful people, beaches that are a dream... it is a wonder that Florianopolis is not yet number 1 destination for European gay travellers..."


We also wonder, Torsten!

Carnival 2009 in Florianopolis - Gay Parties

The Gay Carnival in Floripa is well established but this year seems bigger than ever, probably rivalling Rio as the biggest gay carnival in Brazil.

Besides the every night street parties downtown ( the traditional Carnival do Roma) and the Pop Gay festival that happens on Monday night, there are many other club parties happening in different parts of the Island.

Downtown the local clubs ( Mix Cafe and Concorde) are open every night this week and the Sunrise boat party today was sold out.

The most talked about and busiest is The Week, which is filling to capacity every night. We went last night and we were quite impressed with the whole set up. More than 3000 men were undressed to impress! The setting by the lagoon side makes it unique too. It seems everybody was having a great time.

During the day Bar do Deca on the left side of Praia Mole is still the favourite hang out place. Late afternoons sees more than a thousand people enjoying caipirinhas and the amazing views.

Tip from Brazil Ecojourneys team:

The gay Carnival should go on strong until the weekend- if you are in Brazil you still have time to join the party. Check our site for ideas and more information.
