The interpretive walk celebrating the 91st anniversary of Farroupilha Park, widely known as Redenção, is scheduled for Monday, September 21, 2026. The activity will be led by Porto Alegre's Municipal Department of Environment, Urban Planning and Sustainability, departing from the Visitor Center, lasting about two hours and with limited capacity.
There is one important detail for anyone planning to attend: the official notice published by the City of Porto Alegre on September 19 did not state the walk's starting time. Before heading to the park, participants should confirm that detail with the organizers through the same email used for registration, inscricoes.smamus@gmail.com.

How to register
The City advises participants to register by emailing inscricoes.smamus@gmail.com. Because capacity is limited, registering in advance is the safest way to try to secure a place.
People who arrive without prior registration may still join, but only if there is room within the activity's maximum capacity. The official notice does not provide an online form or, in the publication reviewed, a final registration deadline.
What the guided walk will cover
The activity is designed to introduce different aspects of Redenção through a guided walk. According to the City, the route will address historical monuments, elements of local history and culture, as well as the park's flora and fauna.
The notice does not provide a fixed list of stops. It is therefore not possible to say in advance which monuments or themed areas will be included on September 21. The official Farroupilha Park page lists features such as the Monument to the Expeditionary, the reflecting pond, the Luminous Fountain and the Alpine, Oriental and European gardens, but the City has not confirmed that all of them are part of this specific walk.
Where the meeting point is
The activity notice names the Visitor Center as the departure point. The park's official page gives Farroupilha Park's general address as Avenida João Pessoa, s/nº, in the Bom Fim neighborhood. Because the walk notice does not specify an entrance or gate for reaching the Visitor Center, it is sensible to arrive early and confirm the exact location with the organizers, especially because the starting time was still absent from the September 19 notice.
What happens if it rains
The published rule is straightforward: if it rains, the walk will be moved to another date. The City did not state the alternative date in the notice reviewed. Registered participants should watch for updates from Smamus and confirm the latest information through the registration email before leaving home if the weather is unstable.
Why Redenção turns 91 in 2026
The anniversary is based on September 19, 1935, when the former Campo da Redenção officially received the name Parque Farroupilha. The park covers about 37.5 hectares in central Porto Alegre and combines historical heritage, green areas and spaces for leisure and community life.
For anyone planning to join on September 21, the practical takeaway is simple: register by email, set aside about two hours for the route and confirm the starting time before going. If it rains, the walk will not take place on the planned date and will be rescheduled.
