Festa Junina

Finally the best time of the year! JUNE, JUNE! Do you wanna know why? Well, during the month we have a traditional party , Festa Junina (June's Feast), with regional food,dishes, candies, dances, music, and tons of other things.

It seems to be something hick or tacky, however, it is for sure a time to be happy. Around the bonfire the quadrilha happens. It starts with the wedding of a girl and a guy who doesn't want to get married, and is sort of forced to because the bride's father says so. The little play is full of humor and and the follows the dance, which is technically the the path to the wedding's after party.

First the bride and the groom, then the couples go in a line and the "narrator" tells then what happens and what they are supposed to do while they dance. People believe me, it is so much fun and you've gotta try it!!! It you want to know a bit more about Festa Junina, google it, its worth it.

I know it was short but that way I can assure that Brazil is not about naked people and soccer.
That was my cultural tip (I guess last time i talked about Carnival), so now, If you are thinking where to travel during your summer and specially in THIS month, COME!!! You will definitely enjoy it.

I miss you guys! Love you.

  2. Ok. fiz uma forcinha e consegui. Festa junina faz parte da cultura brasileira. O momento é bom para visitar o Brasil e conhecer a festa.
    Eu gosto das festas juninas, mas aquelas do "meu tempo"...Kkkkkkk... meu pai jogava as batatas doces na fogueira que fazíamos em casa e elas ficavam deliciosamene assadas. Criancinhas ainda, riscavamos fósforos de estrelinhas e meu pai acendia alguns rojões. Minha mãe fazia pipocas, pinhão, canjica e quentão ( com gosto de quentão mesmo). Era uma delícia!!!!!!!
