In Brasil, Junina Party is commemorated on June 13th. The tradition originated in the small cities of the countryside, where people were more religious and more dependant on good crops; today, the parties can be found all over the country. In larger cities, it´s common to see these parties being organized by churches or schools, which try to raise some extra funds. The parties have some typical features: music, costumes, food, decoration, games, etc. People wear clothes associated with hillbillies ("caipira"); young boys make up beard and moustache; young girls arrange ponytails. Music is based on simple instruments (triangle, accordion), with several traditional songs. Food is heavily based on corn and other ingredients available on farms; boiled corn, baked corn, popcorn, several candies based on corn, milk and peanuts (pe-de-moleque, canjica, curau, pamonha, cocada, etc;) I like seeing the square dance of the children, which is very much fun! I also like to dance square dance, too.
