Event Details
Festival History,
BrasilFest was created in 1999 by Brazilian immigrants Eduardo (right) and Ana Paula Mendonça (left) — in the center Gary Locke, then Washington State Governor — with the mission to expose our community to Brazilian arts and traditions during the week of the Brazilian Folklore Day. This is a unique mission, as this day is not usually celebrated outside of Brazil.
In Brazil, this event is an important educational tool in continuing Brazilian folkloric traditions.
Our mission goes beyond keeping traditions alive; it combines traditional and contemporary Brazilian expressions.
Seattle Center’s Festál is a series of cultural community festivals and events designed to celebrate, preserve and share the rich traditions of the region’s diverse communities with the widest possible audience. Festál is a vital part of Seattle Center’s role in helping to build a larger community and is presented by T-Mobile, Coca-Cola, Alaska Airlines and Seattle Center Foundation.
BrasilFest is produced by Brazil Center, Festal, and Show Brazil Productions!
Thanks to our sponsors: Seattle Center, Festal, Coca-cola, T-Mobile, 4Culture, Alaska airlines, Brazil Center and Show Brazil Productions!
