What to Do in Brazil in September

2
September is a good time to visit Brazil. The weather is mild--not hot but, as winter has left the southern part of the country and spring is coming, it's not cold. The high season months of July and August have passed, leaving good deals for travelers who come at this time of the year. The main event in September is September 7, or Independence Day, but a variety of other festivals and events are happening around the country. Here are seven events that travelers should be aware of when planning what to do in Brazil this September.


1. Independence Day


Dia da Independência (Independence Day), commonly referred to as Sete de Setembro, is celebrated on September 7. This national holiday commemorates the Declaration of Independence from Portugal, which occurred in 1822. Visitors should plan accordingly as many businesses will be closed. Patriotic displays including parades occur in most Brazilian cities, but the main celebration is in Brasilia, where a large military parade takes place.

3. Festa de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios


This annual festival takes place on September 8 at the church of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios in the colonial town of Paraty, south of Rio de Janeiro. The charming town itself is worth a visit, but this festival is a traditional event, celebrated for more than 300 years here, giving visitors a window into local history, religious traditions, and folklore. The focal point of the Festa de Nossa Senhora dos Remédios is the procession through the town.

4. Exhibitions at MASP, São Paulo


The Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) is often considered the finest art museum in South America due to its collection of western art. A visit to MASP is one of the highlights of São Paulo. The museum always has fine art exhibitions, often a mix of exhibitions from the museum's permanent collection and exhibitions that showcase fine artists from Brazil. This September, check out the museum's exhibitions on French art of the 19th century and late Renaissance Italian art from Raphael to Titian.


5. Jubileu do Senhor Bom Jesus do Matosinhos in Minas Gerais


The town of Congonhas in the rural state of Minas Gerais is the home of one of the state's grandest religious festivals. This festival takes place every year from September 7-14, drawing hundreds of thousands of pilgrims to the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site of the basilica and Sacred Way in Congonhas. Pilgrims receive blessings at this important site of Catholicism in Brazil, one of master Aleijadinho's greatest works of sculpture.


6. The Feast of Our Lady of Pena in Porto Seguro


On September 8, visitors can enjoy another religious ceremony, this time in the historic coastal city of Porto Seguro, located in the state of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. The Festa de Nossa Senhora da Pena occurs at the church of Nossa Senhora da Pena, which dates from the late 18th century. This colorful festival centers around a huge procession to honor the patron saint of Porto Seguro; after the procession, there is a large feast and concerts. 

7. The Festa do Çairé in western Pará


The Festa do Çairé is a folk and religious celebration that takes place on the island of Alter-do-Chão, 30 kilometers from Santarém, in western Pará. This festival is considered the oldest and largest cultural event in this part of Brazil.

The festival takes place for three days in September and includes singing, dancing, religious rituals, and cultural celebrations that honor the dual influence of the Indians and Portuguese in this area.
