June is the month of fete in Brazil, folk dancing, gang, and the redneck wedding. "It's a must."
Here in the condominium where I live (residence) has (3 three and a half acres) with spring water, soccer courts, party room, lots of trees, birds several parakeets. Gardens to the fullest extent of the condominium. Even church has.
 "St. Peter Church", large windows Bash (Junina party) "is the whole month and will prolong until July that dubbed (Julina party). Some people mock saying that the Condominium is modest.
This is like a small town.
I not traveled because "here in São Paulo Brazil;" not to miss the big fairs "on the eve of the Apostle Peter," all Catholic Churches celebrate this date. June 29 Day of St. Peter.

The origin of the June Festival came from Europe to Brazil mainly from Portugal, that's what my father said.
As I am a descendant of Portuguese father was born in the City of War (Hot Spa Water) in Portugal.
Tired to go on parties in the House of Portugal, single, married, widowed with her first husband (deceased), and second husband also.
The current husband is descended from Spanish.
My mother was the daughter of "Italian Immigrant" his father was a descendant of Austrian (Jewish) Farm Owner.
My grandfather had a sister who died.
My maternal grandmother won the lottery (at the time) began the relationship with my grandfather in "June Festival of Finance.

My grandmother was a descendant of Jews who Guriann surname with (two nn) and married the boss's son (only child)
She got tired of saying that the city of Venice (where he was born) had a street or square with Guriann name,
My grandfather was the upward Gusmann.
* They always commented on the typical parties of Europe *.
That's why I love Juninas parties, is in the European blood that runs through my veins.
