Festa Junina (June Festival), also known as Festa de São João for their part in celebrating the nativity of St. John the Baptist, is the annual Brazilian celebrations historically related to European Midsummer that take place at the beginning of the Brazilian winter. These festivities, which were introduced by the Portuguese during the colonial period (1500-1822), are celebrated during the month of June nationwide in Brazil.
