St. John's Festival, Brazil's crown jewel of cultural celebration

Caruaru, Pernambuco, has transformed into the epicenter of Brazil's largest folk festival, drawing 3 million visitors over the past two weeks alone. This UNESCO-recognized celebration—honoring saints John, Anthony, and Peter—melds Catholic traditions, indigenous rituals, and Afro-Brazilian heritage into a month-long spectacle of music, dance, and community unity. The St. John’s Festival is more than a party—it’s a resilient symbol of Northeastern identity. Amid climate crises and urbanization, it preserves agrarian heritage while adapting to modernity. br br #FestaJunina #SãoJoão #BrazilCulture #Caruaru #Forró #NortheastBrazil #CulturalHeritage #FestivalVibes #TravelBrazilbr br These and more stories now!br 🌐Join teleSUR's community and be part of a space where your ideas matter.
