We will promote Brazil’s uniqueness by sharing our cuisine, lifestyle and culture, a culture that complements the diverse mosaic that makes up Canada.
Last year, the festival raised funds to support the Vila Isabel Charitable Society in Brazil, which is making a difference to the lives of children in Citrolandia in Minas Gerais by fostering their development and improving their living conditions.
This Year, it is the Brazilian Community Association board of directors turn to organize the festival. Once again making a part on keeping the summer alive for all Brazilians and lovers of the Brazilian culture and for all other cultures to enjoy.
