History
The BIG Festival was first held in 2012 at the Museum of Image and Sound in São Paulo, Brazil. Between 2014 and 2018, the event took place annually at the São Paulo Cultural Center. In 2019, the festival was hosted at Club Homs. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 editions were held entirely online. From 2022 to 2024, the festival has been held at the São Paulo Expo. In 2024, the German video game convention Gamescom expanded into the South American market with the introduction of Gamescom Latam. The event was established through a collaboration with the BIG Festival and the Omelete Company. Gamescon Latam incorporated the BIG Festival into its program; however, the festival continues to operate as a distinct component within the broader event. As of 2025, the event is held at the Anhembi District.
