The Utah Brazilian Festival began with a small group of friends eager to celebrate their heritage and share it. The community embraced them and the festival has since become a greatly anticipated tradition. Authentic Brazilian culture, people and language are an integral part of the festivities. Of course you don’t have to be Brazilian or know how to samba to be part of our opening act at the Samba Opening Dance Presentation. Everyone is invited to participate, costumes or not, including children. It is easy and fun to follow!
