Tonight we were hosted along with around 80 other guests by our work sponsors for a typical harvest-time party in Brazil. Generally, the traditional parties from Northeastern Brazil are in June and called Festa Juninas, but nowadays the parties are so fun that they happen everywhere and also in July (Festa Julina) and August (Festa Agostina). The tradition includes dressing up like simple, country folk and enjoying plenty of Forró music and quadrilha dancing (like square dancing). There is a lot of food, much of it made from corn. Our celebration was a bit more international but included all of the most important elements!
