  • Dia dos Pais is celebrated every second Sunday on August as the Brazilian equivalent of Father's Day.
  • Festa de São João is a holiday celebrated June 24th in many Brazilian cities - especially the one in the Northeast area like Recife and Maceió.
  • Dia das Bruxas (Halloween) is not an official holiday but is commonly celebrated in the largest cities on the night of October 31, however, without the custom of trick-or-treat. In 2005, politicians voted for October 31st as the Dia do Saci, talking about the Brazilian Saci, a Brazilian Folklore image.
