the festival moved from its previous venue at the sala balden powell to engage with a younger and more active citizenry, beyond the jazz traditionalists who made up much of the attendees during the first editions.

in response to increasing popularity of the original fashion week, september fashion events in rio include fashion business alto verão - a display of summer lines by several designers introducing creations for the new season and for the upcoming christmas and new year's eve celebrations. 

from the end of september through the beginning of october, every year casacor rio de janeiro portraits urban habits and in-home culture of brazilian families through the eyes of dozens of architects, decorators, and landscapers.
