June is about the Festa Junina where everyone dresses like a country bumpki, sets off fireworks and balloons, and dances to fun music.

I only now made the connection that this Festa is the same as Juhannus in Finland, though celebrated differently.

How interesting.

Here the workers for one of the airlines running the shuttles between Rio and Sao Paulo are all dressed up in Festa Junina garb.
