Celebrate Festa Junina at Miami Marketta
While winter in Australia is a time to hibernate, in Brazil, it’s a time to party. Festa Junina, or June festival, is an annual month-long (sometimes two-month) celebration of the country harvest and the rural lifestyle.
Enjoy a little taste of Brazil at Miami Marketta on Sunday June 19 for Festa Junina! The fun kicks off at 2:00 pm and will continue well into the evening with amazing Brazilian food, live music, entertainment and carnival games including a mechanical bull, because no celebration would be complete without one. There will be cultural displays including Meninas da Lua and Xango Capoeira and some top-notch nosh from Rango Bbq Ribs, Samba Catering Co, Tapioca Traders, Vira Lata Food Truck and Alfajor Lovers. Trio Mandala and guests will be on-hand entertaining partygoers with some bangin’ beats.
Festa Junina is a family-friendly event and is designed to bring a little taste of Brazil to the Gold Coast. There will be some pretty sweet prizes up for grabs including a whale watching tour for two and a Great Ocean Road Tour. Tickets to Festa Junina are $10 or $15 at the door, kids under 12 years are free.
