Porto Alegre Metropolitan Cathedral opens grand hall for corporate events

One of the main sights and historical heritage of the city, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Porto Alegre has been the scene of several non-religious events, such as wedding parties and large corporate events. At the end of 2018, the old crypt of the Cathedral was renovated and transformed into a noble hall, but the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic prevented many events already scheduled from taking place there. With the end of the restrictions, the celebrations were resumed, and this week the space will host one of the restricted meetings of the South Summit Brazilone of the main technology and innovation events in the world.

For the next month, the Cathedral should also host the opening and closing of the Freedom Forum. “It is very representative to have the beginning and end of the Freedom Forum at this strategic point, close to the three powers. In addition, being in the Cathedral makes the event more impressive”, says the institutional relations director of the Freedom Forum, Matheus de Macedo.

He explains that until last year the opening was held at the Leopoldina Juvenil Club. The closing party will take place for the first time, with ticket sales for the open bar party at the Cathedral, with a DJ. For lunch, 300 people are expected, and for the closing party of the Forum, 600 people.
