august welcomes another festival da cachassa, preceding the beer festival 'festival do chopp' in september and the sober festival de música sacra de paraty dedicated to sacred music.

october is about theater presentations, while november is the month of black culture in paraty - just before all christmas events e celebrations in december. 

held in july of every year since 2003, the festa literária internacional de paraty - flip (paraty international literary festival) first put brazil on the figurative map in terms of international literary festivals, and has since gone on to become one of the premier happenings of its type in the world.

set against the backdrop of paraty 's fantasy-like aura, contributors to the five days of workshops, debates, shows, exhibitions and film screenings read like a who's who of modern literature.
