Festival de Crustaceos de barra de Sao Joao

On June 22, after the Belgium vs. Russia match, we went to a festival celebrating the people and cultural of the north country, where there was music, dancing, food, local,crafts, souvenirs, and a carnival in what was an incredibly festive atmosphere.
Troy Tanzer and Mckenzie Pezze don period costume of the region.

The place was jam-packed with Brasileiros, and it was obvious that we were about the only gringos at the festival . . . which made for an interesting spectacle.

The group enjoys another fine meal, this time a sampling of northern Brazilian fare.

Ross Titelbaum, Andrea Canales, Jeremy Patti, McKenzie Pezze, and Troy Tanzer lead the way!

Sarah Babski grooving to the beat of the music!

The crowd and atmosphere was like being at a concert!
