Festival de Quadrilhas de Natal - Ciclo Junino

June brings one of the most anticipated celebrations in Brazil, June Feasts. The celebrations in honor of the saints of June is a strong tradition in the north and northeast. Typical meals, bonfires, country music, "quadrilhas" and games make up these various parties so dear among Brazilians.

Brought to Brazil by the Portuguese in Europe June Feasts there since the fourth century. In the beginning was just celebrated the birthday of St. John, who baptized Jesus. Some years later, some sites also started to celebrate the day of St. Anthony and St. Peter. The name came from the most remembered in this holy month: Festival Ioannina, which became a June party in Brazil. In many places the celebrations are still called the Feast of St. John.

The celebrations and feasts were carried out around Natal city, all isolated from each other and for various reasons. The city of Natal Community Action Office decided to try and unit everyones festivities into one large festival. The end result is nearly 400 varied camps, and 100 traditional camps where people gather.

Competitions recipes are an attraction in itself. Visitors can see the biggest kid's foot, the largest and most corn pudding tamale, for example.

Most of them lasts the entire month of June, very interesting ride for those looking for a good destination in the winter months - after all, always wonderful climate of the northeast is also an attraction of the celebrations of St. John. A Square Dance Festival awards the best performances with trophies and cash at the end of the celebrations.
