This year, for the first time ever, Roscommon town is set to hold official celebrations to mark Brazilian Independence Day, which takes place this Sunday, the 15th of September. The event will be held in Kilbride Community Centre, from 10 am to 5 pm.
As well as marking Brazilian Independence Day, this celebration also serves a great opportunity for the local Brazilian community to come together, and as a chance for all other nationalities in Roscommon to experience and enjoy Brazilian culture.
This event will feature free workshops on percussion, grafieira dance, and capoeira, as well as live music, a football tournament, culinary delights, and a craft fair.
A much-anticipated highlight of the day will be the panel discussion and Q&A session focused on start-up businesses, which will feature experienced entrepreneur advisers Noel Connolly and Fernda Hermanson, and two Brazilian entrepreneurs, Bianca Fachel from Birdland Studios and Carolina Musetti from Baken it Happen.
Information on legal rights and mental health will also be provided, with support from the Brazilian Embassy.
This exciting free event promises to be a day full of cultural immersion, community engagement, and cross-cultural exchange, so don’t miss out! More information can be found at braziliandayroscommon.my.canva.site.
