I want to tell you about 5
festivals in the Brazil.
First festival which I want to
tell about it is
Rio Carnival
The Rio Carnival is one of the
world’s most famous festivals, held over five revelrous days in Rio de Janeiro
every year. Taking place during Easter, from the Friday to the Tuesday
preceding Ash Wednesday, it sees enormous parades featuring elaborate costumes,
as well as drummers and dancers making their way through the streets. Visitors
have long been welcomed to join in the fun, with free open-air concerts and
masquerade balls taking place throughout the city. With Samba as your
soundtrack, and a caipirinhas in hand (made of lime juice, sugar, ice and
cachaca) you’ll be in the party spirit in no time!
That’s grate events but moreover
I want to tell you about
Festa
do Peao
That is not traditional Brazil
events but it celebrates in Brazil too!
Festa do Peão means ‘Cowboy
Festival’ in English, and has proven a popular Brazilian festival for almost 60
years. Held across the country in the likes of Maraba, Uberaba and Barretos,
festivals usually feature a series of rodeo bulls and horses, accompanied by
country-style music. By far the largest and best known of the Festa do Peao is
held in the Sao Paulo state of Barretos every August, to coincide with the
anniversary of the first recorded festival in 1955. Held in an enormous park
with a stadium large enough to hold over 35,000 spectators, the festival’s
highlight is undoubtedly the rodeo showdown.
This festival it`s traditional Brazil
events that is
Celebration
of Yemanja
Paying homage to the Goddess
of the Sea, the Celebration of Yemanja is a beautiful event in Salvador, a city
otherwise known as Brazil’s ‘capital of happiness’. Held at the beginning of
February each year, it sees locals throw gifts into the sea, be it flowers,
perfume or costume jewellery! The largest celebration takes place along Praia
Vermelha, culminating in a celebratory evening on the beach with music,
partying and food. Make your way to Salvador early, and you could even catch
the city’s most important religious ceremony: at the end of January, hundreds
of women in traditional costume come to wash the steps of the Bonfim Church
It`s also not traditional Brazil events but celebrate
in Brazil!
Oktoberfest
When you think of Oktoberfest,
you’re likely to envisage Germany, but Brazil hosts its own in the wonderful
city of Blumenau. Founded as a German colony in 1850, today the Santa Catarina
city sees over 1 million tourists flock to its centre, to enjoy German and
Brazilian cuisine, music and culture. One of the best places to stay during the
October festival is the beach paradise of Balneário , from which you can easily
reach Blumenau via public transport links. So don your most colourful costumes,
grab your party hats, and join the hordes of revellers at one of Brazil’s most
exciting events.
And in conclusion I want to
tell you about-
Cirio
de Nazare
On the second Sunday of
October each year, one of Brazil’s greatest religious festivals is held along
the River Amazon, in Para's beautiful city of Belem. Known as the Cirio de
Nazare, the festival revolves around a statue of Our Lady of Nazareth, which is
believed to have performed miracles when it was found and brought home by a
farmer called Placido Jose de Souza. It is said that the statue, after being
brought to Belem, would return to its home in Icoraraci of its own accord.
Today, the statue doesn’t travel by itself: carried from the Catedral da Se to
the basilica in Icoaraci, it's accompanied by hundreds of colourful boats,
filled with singing, dancing crowds.



Brazil it`s very beautifull country with a lot of interesting festivals! And you should visit this country!
