Question: how does a celebration move from pagan Roman times to Christian Portugal and then to Brazil and stays exatly the same throughout the years? Trick question: it doesn´t! Festa Junina might have started as a midsummer party back in the olden days, and the Christians might have tried to control it and make it all about them (stop being so self-centered, Christians), but it was the Brazilians who took all of this history and made it on the biggest outdoor festivals in the world! It´s on the Guinness book of records, look it up. So press play to learn all about this delicious summer/winter fest (because what are seasons anyway). Let´s welcome the summer the Brazilian way, come celebrate festa junina with us!
