Kudos Team Hay Day for raising cultural awareness about other countries. Here's what I found about Festa Junina in Brazil.

Brazil is a culturally diverse country, our festivities are so much more than Carnival. Festa Junina plays an important role in our country as well.
Background
Festa Junina (June Festival) is a Catholic tradition that takes place in June (and sometimes July as well) to celebrate saints and new plantation seasons. This tradition was brought to Brazil through Portuguese settlers. At the beginning, the celebrations were pretty similar to the Portuguese ones but over the years Brazil developed a unique type of celebration with regional expressions and idiosyncrasies.
This festivity usually takes place at a grand tent made of raw material that was once commonly used for special festivities in old rural areas. Men and women dress up as farm rural people, with large straw hats, fake freckles, painted gap teeth and women wear pigtails. This is a tribute to the origins of Brazilian country music...
