Does Brazil have Lantern Festival?
Not observed here
There is no Lantern Festival in Brazil. The federal holidays are fixed by Law 662 of 1949, with 12 October added by Law 6.802 of 1980; religious days are devolved by Law 9.093 of 1993 to the municipalities, declared by municipal law and capped at four. Nothing in that design leaves room for a lunar festival, and the Lunar New Year celebrations in São Paulo's Liberdade district carry on because of the city and the community, not because of the holiday table.
What is this topic?
The same lunar date is three different scenes in Taiwan alone — eating tangyuan and walking through a lantern display, releasing sky lanterns in Pingxi, or standing inside a wall of exploding fireworks in Yanshui — while in mainland China it is a working day, not one of the days off for all citizens. This page compares ritual intensity and civic status under one calendar date.
