Brazilian June Party
June is a cool weather month in Brazil. It calls for bonfires, lots of dancing, rich food and drinks.
If you go to a Festa Junina you will eat sweets, like pamonha, canjica, sweet corn pudding,
cajuzinho, and a variety of cakes, such as sweet corn cake. You will have corn on the cob, popcorn
and drink quentão, or vinho quente.
