Every night at 8 pm, the Show de Acendimento marks the moment Gramado lights up for Natal Luz. The ceremony takes place in front of the Palácio dos Festivais, on Av. Borges de Medeiros, directed by Cena#B, with an original score by Rodrigo Zor and performed by the Trupe de Gramado.
It is free and happens daily through Jan 10. For kids, watching the whole city light up at once is often one of the most remembered moments of the trip. Because the avenue gets crowded, arrive a few minutes early to get a good view. The lighting is the ritual that closes the day in town. The Palácio dos Festivais is at Av. Borges de Medeiros, 2697, a few steps from Rua Coberta.
Parent tip: Arrive about 20 minutes before 8 pm to get a spot with a good view in front of the Palácio dos Festivais.

On Tuesdays, Natal Luz invites the public to the Caminho de Luzes, a walk through the lit-up city that leaves Praça das Etnias and goes to Rua Coberta at 6:30 pm. On many Tuesdays, the Coral Caminho de Luz choir performs right after, at 7 pm, on Rua Coberta itself.
The activity is free. It is a good option for anyone visiting Gramado midweek, when there is no Christmas Parade. At the end of the walk, there is still time to catch the 8 pm Lighting Show (Show de Acendimento) at the Palácio dos Festivais. The Caminho de Luzes runs from Nov 3 to Jan 5, always on Tuesdays. It is one of the free Natal Luz attractions and, because it is on foot, it works best with kids who already walk well or with a stroller.
Parent tip: End the night at the Lighting Show (Show de Acendimento) at 8 pm, a few steps from Rua Coberta.

Expand to see the parent tip
O Brilho do Natal is LightWire's new show at the 41st Natal Luz. In the story, the Guiding Star, which guides Papai Noel's (Santa's) sleigh, disappears on the eve of the big trip, because the elf Pippo borrowed it without asking. Noel calls on the Beings of Light, the only ones who can see trails of sparkle, for a journey around the world. The plot is about friendship, hope and respect for differences.
Onstage there is dance, theater, music and glowing costumes synchronized with digital sets. Shows are at 3 pm and 6 pm on select dates. Tickets range from R$ 120 in the mezzanine to R$ 380 in the VIP orchestra, with half-price tickets at half the cost. The characters also include a small, clumsy coati that keeps a secret. The theater is covered, in downtown Gramado.
Parent tip: The 3 pm shows are the calmest for little ones; the mezzanine may have a partial view of the stage.
