YES, there will be
Festa de São João!
Yes, there will be Festa de São João,
but there will be no tradução! Translation não.
Because Festa de São João is Festa de São João,
so we won’t Saint John Party you.
São João is when Brazilian people feel homesick. Again!
Because it is a truly Brazilian celebration
almost as big as carnival
that takes the country every June.
Picture a mix of Portuguese, African and indigenous festivities
translated into unique music, dance, play and dance
with a truly Brazilian soul.
Come have a bite!
Opa! São João will feature live music with Forró in the Dark and Mambembé and DJs Greg Caz, Victoria Mussi, Gaspar Muniz, and DJ Tietta will be spinning the best Brazilian beats.
The party will also include traditional food by Andrea's Brazilian Homemade Goods, Mari Tamiozzy Vegan Chef and Yubakery, drinks, games, performances, Brazilian visual arts presented by Urban Art Revolution, fashion by LagLagLou, forró class with Sabrina Evangelista and of course, a fun quadrilha. É verdade!
