The event begins at noon with a cultural stage featuring singers, dancers and martial arts demonstrations, childrens area with carnival rides and a food court featuring Brazilians delicacies such as churrasco (Brazilian barbecue), pao de queijo (cheese-flavored rolls) and Brazils national dish feijoada (a stew of beans mixed with beef and pork).

If you want good authentic Brazilian food, this is place to go, Verdenacci said. One of the favorites is a Brazilian appetizer called coxinha. Its made of potato, shredded chicken and cream cheese and deep fried. Its very popular in Brazil.

At 2:30 p.m., Garnet Avenue will be roped off between Dawes and Bayard streets for a pedestrian parade. The parade will be made of five groups, each led by a percussion band starting at 3:30 p.m.
