Festa Junina is a traditional popular festivity that takes place during the month of June. This celebration is common in all regions of Brazil, especially in the Northeast, and was brought to Brazil by the influence of the Portuguese in the 16th century.
In the northern hemisphere These festivals were held as a way to ward off evil spirits and any plague that could affect the harvest (the beginning of harvests was held in June).
The festival has been held around bonfires since ancient times to symbolize protection against evil spirits and to thank for the prosperity of plantations and the plentiful harvest.
The celebrations carried out by different European pagan peoples began to be Christianized from the moment that Christianity was consolidated as the main region of the European continent. Thus, the originally pagan feast was incorporated into the festive calendar of Catholicism.

This was a common practice of the Catholic Church. To facilitate the conversion of different pagan peoples. The Christianization of the festival is directly related to the establishment of commemorations of important figures of Catholicism, among which Saint Anthony (honored on the 13th of June), Saint John (the 24th) and Saint Peter (the 29th) stand out.
During the June festivities in Brazil, typical dances are performed, such as square dances. In all regions, the product used to prepare the party delicacies is basically the same: corn. Popcorn, canjica, pamonha, corn cake and curau are some of the delicacies served.
