Brazil's Independence Day Today we celebrate Brazil's Independence day. There are a lot of military parades all over the country. It is a tradition also that every year, almost every Brazilian School has its own parade, formed by the students wearing military costumes and carring some banners. The schools' parades usually happen during all the week. It's common to see some people using weird costumes during this celebration. Once I saw a guy wearing a spider man costume near to the military parade. It's usually a nice day, when we remember and celebrate our past and present.
