Folklore Day in Brazil began in 1965, thanks to President Humberto de Alencar Castello Branco. The goal was to honor and preserve Brazil’s rich cultural traditions.
The government emphasized the importance of teaching folklore to children, ensuring younger generations stay connected to their heritage. Folklore Day highlights Brazil’s diverse background, which combines influences from indigenous, African, and European cultures.
The decree that established this day aimed to make folklore a recognized part of Brazil’s education system. It encourages not only the study of tales but also the appreciation of customs, dances, and music. Over the years, this day has continued to remind people of the importance of storytelling and folklore.
