One of the first things that comes to mind when the word "Brazil" is mentioned is "Carnival", since this festival is a major event in the country. But Carnival only lasts a few days, so the Brazilians have other festivals to celebrate special events in the country. One of these festivals is the Boi Bumba.

The Boi Bumba is really a friendly competition that started between two Parintins' families prior to 1920. The legend involves a young woman, her husband, a bull, and a happy ending. The Boi Bumba Festival involves a lot of music, dancing, costumes, and huge animal floats. It's all great fun.
