Looking for a big cultural celebration this August? The 26th Annual Brazilian Festival returns to Seattle soon, and it’s free to attend!

On Sunday, August 18th, the free BrasilFest will bring live music, Brazilian food, music and dance workshops to the Seattle Center for a day of fun & family friendly activities.

There will also be vendors which will include Guaraná Booth, Feijoada by Gisele Goren, Oasis Brazilian Steakhouse, Barraca do Pastel, Pierro Bakery and Salgados, Road Dawg Hot Dogs, Padoca Brasil Salgados, Kairo Ice Cream Truck, Rio Belle Boutique, Bruna Reis Photo, and a BrasilFest Information Booth.

According to organizers, BrasilFest’s mission is to expose our community to Brazilian arts and traditions during the week of the Brazilian Folklore Day.

“This is a unique mission, as this day is not usually celebrated outside of Brazil,” they state.

“In Brazil, this event is an important educational tool in continuing Brazilian folkloric traditions. Our mission goes beyond keeping traditions alive, and combines traditional and contemporary Brazilian expressions. It provides an opportunity to bring together all artists and organizations concerned with Brazil and to unite them in one venue. Thereby we hope to increase the visibility of the Brazilian cultural landscape to our community.”

The Brazilian Festival is part of the Seattle Center’s Festál, a “series of cultural community festivals and events designed to celebrate, preserve and share the rich traditions of the region’s diverse communities with the widest possible audience.”
