  • Brazilian Day is an annual festival which takes place in New York City (NYC) and other cities around the world. It is held near the beginning of September to celebrate Brazil's independence day celebrated today in the Federative Republic of Brazil on September 7, 1822 - proclaimed by prince regent - heir to the Portuguese throne Dom Pedro I (1798-1834), from the previous United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves (and his father King Joao VI / John VI, 1767–1826), establishing the new Empire of Brazil (1822-1889) in South America. Brazilian Day is always on Sunday before the American Labor Day holiday weekend. Brazilian Day is part of the official calendar of New York City. The event first ran in 1984, and was on West 46th Street between 5th Avenue and Avenue of the Americas (6th Avenue), which later received the name "Little Brazil". From 2009 on, Brazilian Day also has taken place in the United States (San Francisco), Canada (Montreal, Toronto), Japan (Tokyo), United Kingdom (London) and Angola (Luanda). Over time, Brazilian Day in New York has grown larger and has moved to nearby broader 6th Avenue, between 42nd and 46th Streets, becoming one of the biggest and most famous Brazilian attractions outside of Brazil itself. Currently, the event takes up over 25 blocks. At the festival, a big crowd attends to see the spectacles and visit the stands in which are sold Brazilian food and products. Baterias de Samba (samba drum and musician groups) play in the street and the people dance. "Rede Globo" television has been broadcasting the NYC Brazilian Day in the last few years, making the festival well known in Brazil. Brazilian Day NYC was created in 1984, by the founder of the Brazilian American Cultural Center (BACC Travel), João De Matos. The first event was more of a block party centered on West 46th street between 5th Ave and Avenue of the Americas. Today, this same area is known as Little Brazil, Manhattan because Mayor Rudy Giuliani had this area so proclaimed. In 1984 the festival only showcased arts and crafts from Brazil, as well as Brazilian cuisine, but today it introduces New Yorkers and other visitors to the culture of Brazil. Brazilian Day has become a mega event, with over one million people from across the US, Brazil and other countries across the globe celebrating. For the music attractions, which feature some of the most famous bands and singers from Brazil, people line up the night before to make sure they will get a good view of the huge stage set in the middle of 6th Avenue. Keeping with tradition, there are various stands with arts and crafts from Brazil and typical foods. Brazilian Day has already brought many acclaimed Brazilian artists, such as Blitz, Kid Abelha, Jorge Ben Jor, Carlinhos Brown, Claudia Leitte, Skank, Jota Quest, Alcione Nazareth, Ivete Sangalo, Elba Ramalho, Marcelo D2, Sandy e Júnior, Daniela Mercury, Lulu Santos, Zeca Pagodinho, Banda Calypso and many other artists. Brazilian Day has also brought new successful artists of Brazilian music, such as Luan Santana, Gusttavo Lima, and Jorge & Mateus. (en)
  • Brazilian Day ("Braziliaanse dag") is een jaarlijks festival dat plaatsvindt in New York en andere steden wereldwijd. Tijdens het festival in New York staan er verschillende stands in de straten waar Braziliaanse gerechten en producten worden verkocht. Ook wordt er samba gespeeld. Het is een van de grootste en bekendste Braziliaanse evenementen buiten Brazilië zelf. De televisiezender Rede Globo geeft aandacht aan het festival. Op deze dag in begin september wordt gevierd dat op 7 september 1822 de onafhankelijkheid van Brazilië werd uitgeroepen door prins-regent Dom Pedro I (1798-1834), die tevens erfgenaam was van de toenmalige Portugese koning, Johan VI (1767 – 1826). Brazilië ontstond uit het toen bestaande koninkrijk, het Verenigd Koninkrijk van Portugal, Brazilië en de Algarve. Zo ontstond het Keizerrijk Brazilië, dat tot 1889 heeft bestaan in Zuid-Amerika. Brazilian Day wordt altijd gevierd op de zondag voor de Amerikaanse Dag van de Arbeid (Labor Day). Brazilian Day is opgenomen in de officiële agenda van New York. Het evenement vond de eerste keer plaats in 1984, langs West 46th Street tussen 5th Avenue en 6th Avenue. Dit gedeelte van 46th Street werd later hernoemd naar Little Brazil. Vanaf het jaar 2009 vond Brazilian Day ook plaats in San Francisco, Montreal, Toronto, Tokio, Londen en Luanda. Sinds 1984 is het festival steeds groter geworden. Het verhuisde van 46th Street naar de bredere 6th Avenue, tussen de 42th en 46th Streets. Het evenement vond later plaats over meer dan 25 huizenblokken van Manhattan. (nl)
  • Brazilian Day, também conhecido como Brazilian Day in New York, é uma festa realizada em Nova Iorque, no domingo precedente do Labor Day (dia do trabalho), fazendo parte do calendário oficial da cidade. O evento começou em 1984 criado por João de Matos, o líder da comunidade brasileira nos Estados Unidos nas proximidades da Rua 46, conhecida como a "rua dos brasileiros" (Little Brazil Street), que também foi criada por João de Matos, devido à forte presença de cidadãos brasileiros residindo nesta rua de Nova York. O evento foi criado por João de Matos que ainda é o presidente do evento e tem o apoio institucional da TV Globo Internacional que organiza a presença de vários artistas brasileiros e celebridades globais para a festa que integra a missão da emissora: levar o Brasil para os brasileiros que moram no exterior. Com o passar do tempo, o Brazilian Day New York cresceu mudando-se para a Avenida 6 (na esquina das ruas 42 e 46), e tornando-se uma das maiores e mais festejadas atrações brasileiras realizadas fora do Brasil sempre com a organização de João de Matos. Na festa, uma multidão se reúne para ver os espetáculos e visitar as barracas de comida e produtos típicos do país. A Rede Globo de televisão tem transmitido a festa nos últimos anos, fazendo com que a mesma se torne conhecida no Brasil. Muitos artistas brasileiros participam do Brazilian Day, como por exemplo Netinho e Daniela Mercury (2001); Ivete Sangalo (2003); Skank e Timbalada (2004); Araketu e Chitãozinho & Xororó (2005); Babado Novo, Sandy e Junior e Banda Calypso (2006 e 2013). A grande atração de 2010 foi Ivete Sangalo, que trouxe todo o seu ritmo e carisma para as ruas de NY. Em 2009, o Brazilian Day se expandiu para outros pontos do planeta, como Toronto (Canadá), Tóquio (Japão), Londres (Inglaterra), Los Angeles (Estados Unidos), Lisboa (Portugal) e Luanda (Angola). Em 2019, com Simone e Simaria, Jorge & Mateus e Alok bateram recorde de público. O público foi estimado em mais de dois milhões de pessoas. Em 2020 o evento foi cancelado devido à Pandemia de COVID-19. (pt)
