Are there any more festivals that happen besides Carnival for the rest of the year?

Answer 1

If you come in October, in a state of the south, called "Santa Catarina" you will find more than 100 beer parties!
German people arrive in Santa Catarina in the beggining of colonization, and the Beer Festival's happen together, in many cities. The most famous is "Octoberfest", about 20 days of party. There are specials pavillions built for this party in Blumenau (famous and beautifful city of SC). During the day, tipical and colourfull cars pass through downtown with pipes of beer, distributing free of charge for the people at the streets! You need to have your own CANECO (the can for the beer).
Similar parties happens in other cities around.

Hello Zebbie, I am originally from Brazil although I live in the USA now. There are many festivals, depending on the type of thing you want to do. Beaches are best from October through February and through december there are tons of things - music, food festivals, etc - on the beaches. On New Years Eve there are fire works and African Spirit Callers (transes) at the beach. Throughout July there are food and rodeo festivals in the countryside of Sao Paulo, Minas, and Parana (states). The south of Brazil holds wine festivals throughout July (i.e. in Porto Alegre region). The Northeast parties from December through February, especially the beach areas and they have great seafood). The Pantanal area holds wild nature, bird and alligator watchin throughout July and August. Sao Paulo has cultural stuff like theaters and great restaurants throughout the year. The city of Florianopolis promotes Octoberfest if you are a beer drinker - that is the wildest thing short of carnival. If you really want to get wild, drunk, and party and have sex paid or free or else, then go there during carnival. Beware of pickpockets and pay safe locker in your hotel room. Have fun and enjoy!
