About Brazilian Independence Day
Brazil's Independence Day, on 7 September, recalls the day in 1822 on which Dom Pedro, the Portuguese prince regent, announced on the banks of the Ipiranga stream in São Paulo that Brazil would be independent, with the words "Independência ou morte!". The day is celebrated with civic and military parades in cities across the country, and the largest is in Brasília, on the Esplanada dos Ministérios, with the president, the armed forces and marching bands. Schoolchildren, scouts and bands march in the streets, and the green and yellow flag is flown from houses. A symbolic flame, the Pira da Pátria, is carried by runners from the Ipiranga monument. Many Brazilians use the holiday for family barbecues and picnics. Public buildings are lit in the national colours.
