The Siblings chat about Festa Junina and Independence day, Lucas leads a Presidential Game!
Festa Junina is an international tradition as it’s adapted from the European festival that happens during Midsummer. But the history of this festival dates back to the colonial period (1500–1822) when the Portuguese established a tradition of celebrating the nativity of St. John the Baptist.
