200th Brazilian Independence Day Celebration at Cape Ann Museum 

Independence Day of Brazil, or Sete de Setembro, is officially celebrated on September 7 to mark Brazil’s Declaration of Independence from Portugal in 1822. This year, to celebrate the 200th anniversary, the <a href="https://www.capeannmuseum.org/events/200th-brazilian-independence-day-celebration/">Cape Ann Museum</a> and Action Inc. are working with local Brazilian community members to share Brazilian food, culture, music and dance in Downtown Gloucester. Taste salgadinhos, dance capoeira and make your own Brazilian flag during this afternoon celebration. “We are surrounded by Brazilian culture here on Cape Ann and are excited to see this reflected within the Museum,” said Oliver Barker, Director of Cape Ann Museum. “The Museum exists to tell the unique story of this place and the multiple communities that call Cape Ann home and we hope that everyone will join in this fun afternoon of activities and celebration with several of our community partners.” The Brazilian community has been growing on Cape Ann, mostly Downtown Gloucester, for over 35 years. Over 4,000 Brazilians currently live across Cape Ann and have started businesses including local restaurants, hair salons, stores and cleaning companies. In 2022, Independence Day of Brazil is one of a number of key community celebrations that have been spearheaded by the Cape Ann Museum including Gloucester’s So Salty; 2nd Annual COVID Memorial; Gloucester Juneteenth Festival; Courtyard Concert Series; and concludes with Indigenous Heritage Day on September 24th at the Cape Ann Museum Green campus. Independence Day of Brazil activities on August 28th include: ·      Live music from Vidinha de Balada in the Cape Ann Museum (CAM) courtyard ·      DJ Marks in the Cape Ann Museum courtyard ·      Photographs by Sergio Oshira on display inside the CAM ·      Capoeira MdP performance at City Hall ·      Jiu Jitsu performance by DF Fitness at City Hall ·      Food for sale by Oliver’s Harbor Restaurant ·      Make your own Brazilian Flag in the CAM Sculpture Garden ·      Free face painting and balloons in the CAM Sculpture Garden ·      Community tables from the Sawyer Free Library, the Open Door, the 		Gloucester Education Foundation, North Shore Community Health Center, Schooner Adventure, the Gloucester Human Rights Committee, and more.
