BrasilFest is part of Seattle Center’s Festál series — a vibrant collection of cultural community festivals designed to celebrate, preserve, and share the rich traditions of the region’s diverse communities with the widest possible audience.
Festál is a vital part of Seattle Center’s role in helping to build a larger, more connected community and is presented by the Seattle Center Foundation.
Mission
BrasilFest’s mission is to expose our community to Brazilian arts and traditions during the week of Brazilian Folklore Day — a celebration that is rarely observed outside of Brazil.
In Brazil, Folklore Day serves as an important educational tool in preserving and continuing Brazilian folkloric traditions. BrasilFest carries this spirit forward while expanding its reach beyond tradition alone.
Our mission goes further than keeping traditions alive — we combine traditional and contemporary Brazilian expressions, creating a dynamic cultural experience.
BrasilFest provides an opportunity to bring together artists, performers, educators, and organizations connected to Brazil, uniting them in one venue. Through this gathering, we aim to increase the visibility and appreciation of Brazil’s rich cultural landscape within our broader community.
History
BrasilFest was created in 1999 by Brazilian immigrants Eduardo and Ana Paula Mendonça, whose vision was to build a cultural bridge between Brazil and the Pacific Northwest community.
