Thread Name: Folklore: Bonfire Night
Subject: RE: BS: Bonfire Night
Here in Brazil St. John´s is celebrated with bonfires. Here in the south ( where I´m living Now) it isn´t celebrated much. But in the NOrtheast ( where I used to live) it is a massive celebration akin to Carnival. There are bonfires outside of nearly every house, and fireworks and food made mostly from corn, such as PAMONHA, MUNGUZÁ AND BARBECUED CORN-ON-THE-COB amongst other things. In the interior of Pernambuco there is a three day music festival mostly with FORRÓ. Great stuff.
