About us
From the dreams and plans of a Brazilian from Minas Gerais, Arilda de Oliveira, a project filled with innovation and challenges was born: to bring and share a bit of Brazilian culture in Toronto. Twenty years later, BrazilFest has evolved into the largest Brazilian cultural festival in Canada. Each year, we open our hearts to the community, providing amazing days filled with music, gastronomy, and one of the world’s most vibrant and charming cultures.
BrazilFest goes beyond being just a festival; it’s a purposeful experience. Our desire is to be, for each of the thousands of people who pass through the 3 days of celebration, a reference in culture, hospitality, and diversity… to be that delightful reminder of home.
Built by thousands who roam among our booths, perform, volunteer, and share our food, BrazilFest is a creation of passion, animated by enthusiasm, respect, and hard work. More than a festival, BrazilFest is a family, forged with determination, filling us each year with love, satisfaction, and joy.
Come join this family, and here’s to many more years of BrazilFest. Join us on this journey, and let’s build something beautiful together in the years to come.
