Halloween (Dia das Bruxas) is not an official holiday in Brazil, but is increasingly celebrated
After all, what marketing giants can pass up such a huge opportunity? International companies have led the way in promoting Halloween parties in metropolitan areas in Brazil, and to some extent it seems to be catching on.
Please comment here on this post is you have had experience with Halloween in Brazil, or an opinion on the matter.

I’m Brazilian .In Brazil the Halloween is not a holiday but is cool
I work at an English language school and halloween is hugely celebrated. Many of our students are from Asian countries but most are Brazillian. It’s a great party.
Halloween was never a big deal for us, maybe it’s because of the part of the country where I’m from ( Rio Grande do Sul ), but it was more of a day to be affraid of something bad happaning than a party, in part because the name of the day translates to ” Witch Day ” or ” Day of the Witches ” and it’s known for peolple telling their horror stories be them real or not. So I’m kind of bummed out, was I the only one not partying every year on Halloween?
