There are the best rhythms of the Northeast, quadrilha, typical food and many exciting activities for children.

Anyone who has ever traveled through Brazil in June has surely found out that the entire population celebrates parties throughout the month, which in some cities are even bigger than the carnival. The June Festivals (Festas Juninas) celebrate the harvest and commemorate Saints Anthony, John and Peter.

And in a typically Brazilian way with lots of traditional food, drinks, music and a theatrical dance, the Quadrilha, a kind of square dance. The festivals are colourful.

The party will be decorated with paper lanterns and flags. Men dress up as peasant boys and wear large straw hats. Women wear red plaid clothes and adorn themselves with false gaps in their teeth and freckles.

All in a loving tribute to the roots of traditional, regional music in Brazil. As in carnival, costumes are worn at these festivals, in this case peasant costumes, there is a lot of dancing everywhere and fun games are organized for the children.
