Bondage Picnic and Similar Events Around the World

Hey everyone! I'm curious — here in Brazil, we have a strong tradition of hosting shibari events in public parks. We call them Atados no Parque (“Tied in the Park”). These are monthly events held in major Brazilian cities where people from the scene — as well as newcomers — can come together to talk, learn, and even tie.

Usually, more sensual-leaning ties aren’t allowed since the events take place in public spaces, but that doesn’t stop people from connecting and having fun.

As far as I know, these events started in Brazil about 10–12 years ago, inspired by international gatherings like Bondage Picnic. I’m curious — are there similar events happening regularly in other countries?

I’m also posting a picture from one of our events here in São Paulo, Brazil (taken and published with everyone's consent)
