Festas Juninas - A Very Brazilian Celebration
In June Brazil celebrates Festas Juninas or Festas de São João. In the Northeast of Brazil, the festas juninas are as big as carnival. You can expect tons of regional food, colorful outfits, loud music, lots of dancing (Forró), and of course a generous serving of Brazilian joy.
