Brazil Independence Day

Brazil Independence Day, also known as “Dia da Independência” or “Sete de Setembro,” is celebrated annually on September 7th to commemorate Brazil’s declaration of independence from Portugal in 1822. The day is marked with parades, concerts, and cultural performances across the country. The Brazilian government holds an official parade on the Ministries Esplanade in the capital city of Brasilia, with the president leading the nation’s parade. The day is also celebrated worldwide, with Brazilian embassies, consulates, and missions organizing cultural and community activities. It is a time for Brazilians to reflect on the spirit of their nation with personal pride and celebrate Brazil’s abiding friendship with the United States.
