Brazil’s independence is celebrated on September 7th, otherwise known as Sete de Setembro. Brazilian cities decorate with the Brazilian flag, while schools host independence day parades.
While a lot of Brazilians like to use the national holiday to travel, most Brazilians celebrate their independence by consuming vast amounts of alcohol. This day is also celebrated in other cities around the world as Brazilian Day. Brazilian Day is usually celebrated in cities with a large population of Brazilian immigrants. Brazilian Day in New York City, for example, is honored with one of the largest street festivals in Manhattan.
