Brazilian Day Festival - NYC
The event is celebrating its 25th anniversary, with the Cleansing of 46th Street on Saturday September 5, and Brazilian Day on Sunday, September 6, at 46th Street, also known as Little Brazil, and 6th Avenue, near Times Square. Presently the event takes over 25 blocks surrounding Little Brazil.

The festival began to celebrate Brazil's Independence Day. Since 1984, that small celebration has only grown, up to the point of attracting over1.5 million people in 2008, according to official information from NYPD.

People come from as close as Connecticut and as far as California. Perfectly bonding with the diverse population of New York City, people also come from Europe, Asia and Africa, to join the festivities. Some travel in groups, by bus, some fly in, and others simply drive hundreds of miles. No one wants to be left out of this party, which is now considered the world's biggest Brazilian event outside Brazil and one of the Big Apple's greatest ethnic events.

To the sound of upbeat Afro-Brazilian music, the movements are smooth and coordinated as students watch Capoeira instructor Alex Patz demonstrate basic movements of the Afro-Brazilian art form. They applaud as Patz performs a few acrobatic moves.
