Join in the Brazilian Folk Winter Festival, country farmer style

June in Brazil is the start of the harvest season for one of the country's national crops, corn, as well as the commencement of Festa Junina or the Brazilian Folk Winter Festival. Men dress up as farm boys with large straw hats and women wear pigtails, freckles, painted gap teeth and red-chequered dresses all in loving celebration of the rain, the harvest, Brazilian country music and sweet and savoury snacks made from corn. more
