​THank you (OBRIGADO) for all the love and support. 

It's with heavy hearts, admiration, gratitude and LOVE!!! (that we could never repay); we have decided its time to end our beloved Brazilian festival and move on to the next chapter of the world. The annual Brazilian Day Arizona Festival; a community gathering, a cultural crusade, an educational and entertainment hub for all things Brazil, and a place we like to call "for the people by the people festival" has ended on a high note. You! the people, the fans, the community, our families, friends, staff, and volunteers have given us 9 amazing years of LOVE & SUPPORT that we are so grateful for.  More than 30K of you joined us over the last decade, and we are just ecstatic that we were able to share a small piece of Brazilian culture with all of you! You followed us, believed in us, joined us, grew with us, and dreamed with us to create something magical year after year after year! And for that, we are forever grateful to each and every one of you near and far! To all the performers, dancers, Djs, educators, instructors, musicians, bands, sponsors, vendors, sound techs, staff FOH / BOH, and of course!!! our Beyond Amazing Team, Partner and Support System, the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, whom we couldn't have done this without!
WE LOVE YOU! WE APPRECIATE YOU! AND WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL!
Brazil is forever in our hearts, mind and soul, and a place we love to the moon and back!
With that, we leave you with a heartfelt farewell, and hope you will join us in the future.
