For ages Brazil has represented the great escape into a prehistoric, tropical heaven, igniting the Western imagination like no other South American country. Brazil's independence from Portugal in 1822 freed them from a reigning monarch and created a great cause for celebration among a people who celebrate like no other! This Sunday a multitude of live musicians, DJs, and dancers will gather to recognize a vivacious and fascinating culture in the picturesque landscape of the Hall of Flowers.
