In fact, this is a time when I particularly like to look toward the other side of Greater Florian\u00f3polis\u2014the one with mountains, small towns, thermal springs, rural experiences, history, and places that become even more delightful when the temperature drops.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2026, the&nbsp;<strong>September 7 falls on a Monday<\/strong>, making it that perfect long weekend to leave the Island for a bit and discover what exists in the surrounding municipalities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And this text is not an itinerary saying \u201cdo this on Saturday, go to that on Sunday.\u201d The idea is different. I've separated experiences for you to choose according to your style, who you're traveling with, and, most importantly, the weather of the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Start the long weekend at a vintage car festival in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the day\u00a0<strong>September 5, 2026<\/strong>, Celebrate Park, in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, hosts the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visitefloripa.com.br\/agenda\/celebrate-park\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visitefloripa.com.br\/agenda\/celebrate-park\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Southern Brazilian Vintage Vehicle Festival \u2013 Vintage Car Show Brazil<\/a><\/strong>. It starts at 8 a.m., with tickets starting at R$ 30.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is one of those options that I would put on the radar even for those who do not consider themselves car fanatics. Vintage vehicle events usually catch attention for the details, the stories behind the models, and, of course, the opportunity to see up close cars that normally only appear in photographs, movies, or specialized gatherings.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As happens already on Saturday, September 5th, it is a very different way to kick off the long weekend without depending on outdoor activities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And there is still an advantage: you will already be in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, one of the towns that appears most on this list because, for cold days, it delivers some of the experiences I like to recommend most near Floripa.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2.

Visit a sugar cane mill and discover how artisanal cacha\u00e7a is produced<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuing in Santo Amaro da Imperatriz, there is an experience that many people who live in Floripa still don't know about: the visit to the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visitefloripa.com.br\/o-que-ver\/visita-a-cachaca-do-imperador\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"o-que-ver\" data-id=\"1401\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Emperor&#039;s Cacha\u00e7a<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The space operates in the historic Engenho do Imperador, a 1910 building, and offers a guided tour that presents the beverage's production process, from sugarcane cultivation to distillation.

Just drive a few kilometers inland to find sugar mills, small farms, artisanal products, and completely different experiences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Important tip:<\/strong>\u00a0If you are going to the tasting, decide beforehand who the designated driver will be for the way back.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

But if the operation is running normally, rain doesn't automatically mean the tour is canceled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And another thing: you're going to get wet anyway.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if your travel style is more \u201clet's live to tell the tale\u201d than \u201clet's wait for the weather to improve,\u201d this might just be one of the best choices for this long weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5.

Do&nbsp;<strong>guided tour of Cacha\u00e7a do Imperador<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want adrenaline and don't mind getting wet?&nbsp;<strong>Rafting on the Cubatao River<\/strong>&nbsp;it is officially disclosed as an activity that can get even better in the rain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to eat and spend a few hours at a leisurely pace?&nbsp;<strong>Choco Rancho, K\u00e4ufer Caf\u00e9 com Morango, and the rural experiences of Rancho Queimado<\/strong>&nbsp;They easily make the list.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want culture? Here&nbsp;<strong>House of the Azores<\/strong>, in Bigua\u00e7u, is practically the ready-made answer for that gray Saturday or Sunday.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for those looking for faith, history, or contemplation, there are options like the&nbsp;<strong>Saint Paulina Sanctuary<\/strong>, The&nbsp;<strong>Mother Church of S\u00e3o Pedro de Alc\u00e2ntara<\/strong>&nbsp;and other historic spaces in the region.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words: rain changes the outing, but it doesn't have to ruin it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take advantage of the long weekend to look beyond the Island<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the things I like most about living in Florian\u00f3polis is precisely this feeling that there is always something new an hour \u2014 or just a little more \u2014 away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can know Floripa for years and still discover a winery in Rancho Queimado you have never visited, a historic house in Bigua\u00e7u you have never entered, a trail in Alfredo Wagner you have never heard of, or a hot springs experience that was right there the whole time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, if you've made it this far looking for&nbsp;<strong>what to do in Greater Florian\u00f3polis<\/strong>&nbsp;during the September 7th long weekend, perhaps the best tip is precisely this: take advantage of the three days to look beyond the most obvious places.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose an experience that really has to do with you. Greater Florian\u00f3polis has this advantage: in just a few kilometers, the landscape, the culture, and even the style of the trip change completely.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the long holiday weekend of\u00a0<strong>September 5 to 7, 2026<\/strong>\u00a0It is a great excuse to find that out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Before leaving the house<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since visiting hours, prices, and conditions may undergo special changes during holidays, it is always a good idea to check the attraction's official channels shortly before the trip, especially when reservations or scheduling are required.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if you are still in doubt about which municipality to visit, explore the section\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/visitefloripa.com.br\/regiao\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visitefloripa.com.br\/regiao\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Region<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Check out Visite Floripa.
