Tradition, devotion and joy across the country in our partners' celebrations
Every year, in the months of June and July, the June (and July) festivals take place. Revering Brazilian countryside traditions, the festivities are very colorful, with typically Brazilian decorations, such as melon chapels and little flags that seem to dance to the sound of accordions.
The typical foods of the interior and northeast of Brazil are an attraction apart. All this without forgetting the Catholic spirituality, which is the essence of these festivals, when the days of Santo Antonio, São João and São Pedro are celebrated.
At AbmthS partner NGOs the party was lively! That's why we put together this festive panel so that everyone can see a little of what happened throughout Brazil!
