9th Annual Brazilian Festival moves to Fort Lauderdale.

2020’s Sole Live Brazilian Celebration in the United States
The Brazilian Festival, launched in 2012, has been a cornerstone of South Florida’s cultural landscape, celebrating the vibrant Brazilian heritage and fostering unity across diverse communities. For eight consecutive years, it brought energy and joy to the City of Pompano Beach. However, in 2020, amidst a challenging global pandemic, the festival found a new home under the compassionate leadership of Fort Lauderdale Mayor Dean Trantalis and the City Commission.

The 9th Annual Brazilian Festival became a beacon of hope, faith, and optimism for a community yearning for brighter days. It stood as a testament to resilience, setting new benchmarks for safety and compliance in the events industry. The festival meticulously adhered to all precautions and guidelines established by Broward County and the CDC, becoming a model for outdoor events during the pandemic.

Key safety measures included:
-Temperature checks at entry points.
-Mandatory mask-wearing and strict enforcement of social distancing.
-Limited attendance through advanced online ticket sales.
-Distribution of free hand sanitizers to all attendees.
-Vendor compliance with rigorous sanitation protocols.
-Liability waivers for added safety assurance.

To further curb the spread of COVID-19, food and beverages were offered exclusively via table service, and seating in front of the stage featured marked spaces to ensure proper distancing.
The festival’s impact extended far beyond its attendees. Over 75 local performers and 45 workers received much-needed financial assistance, while small businesses and Brazilian suppliers gained vital economic support. In a time of uncertainty, the Brazilian Festival provided not just entertainment, but a lifeline for the local community, proving that creativity and compassion can triumph even in the most challenging times
