Festivals and Holidays

To most tourists, the Carnival is what usually comes to mind when speaking of Brazilian festivities. Yet, with a big population of diverse cultures, the famous Carnival is just one of Brazil’s many fantastic yearly celebrations. Being a country with Catholic influences, it comes as no surprise that Brazil actually has its own wide share of festivals and Catholic holidays. We feature below three of these famous festivals/holidays in Brazil.

Celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Aperecida

Celebrating the feast of Our Lady of Aperecida

- Tiradentes Day on April 21 – this is celebrated in order to commemorate the execution of the national hero Joaquim Jose da Silva Xavier.

- Our Lady of Aperecida Day on October 12 – this national holiday is in honour of Brazil’s patron saint, Nossa Senhora de Aperecida.

- New Year’s Day – Brazil welcomes the first day of another new year through non-stop parties and fun. The best place to be where the party scene explodes is Rio de Janeiro.
