 Why Brazil Celebrates Valentine’s Day in June


While many countries honor Valentine’s Day on February 14, Brazil takes a different approach, celebrating love on a unique date with its own cultural influences.


In Brazil, the holiday is called Dia dos Namorados, which translates to “Lovers’ Day” or “Boyfriends’ and Girlfriends’ Day.” Although it shares common traditions like exchanging gifts, flowers, and chocolates, it is not linked to Saint Valentine.


Instead, Dia dos Namorados is observed on June 12, the eve of Saint Anthony’s Day (June 13). Saint Anthony is highly regarded in Brazil as the patron saint of marriage, believed to bring love and prosperity to couples. On this day, partners typically enjoy romantic dinners—either at home or in restaurants—and exchange thoughtful gifts.


Singles are also included in the festivities, as many nightclubs, bars, and movie theaters host special events catering to those without a partner.


One key reason Brazil doesn’t celebrate on February 14 is that it often coincides with Carnival, the country’s largest and most vibrant festival. Because of this, Brazil has also become a popular destination for Western singles looking to escape traditional Valentine’s Day celebrations.


Whether celebrating with a partner or enjoying the festive atmosphere solo, Brazil’s version of Valentine’s Day embraces love in a way that everyone can enjoy!
