She emphasized that the festival provided an opportunity for countries to exchange ideas, learn about different cultures, and explore cuisine from around the world.

Festas Juninas, also known as festas de São João, are celebrated annually on June 24. These festivities were introduced by the Portuguese during the colonial period (1500-1822) and are now celebrated nationwide in June.
During the festival, people dress up in traditional peasant clothing, wear chequered shirts and skirts, and put on straw hats. They also paint on moustaches, goatees, and freckles. Women style their hair in pigtails. These costumes are paired with country music, or forrό, which is performed as a square dance.
Participants also have the opportunity to play games and sample various foods throughout the festival.
