Celebrate Brazil’s Independence Day with Moon Roast’s Brazilian coffee
On September 7th, Brazil celebrates its Independence Day (Dia da Independência), a momentous occasion that marks the country’s declaration of independence from Portugal in 1822. It’s a day filled with history, pride and vibrant celebrations - and what better way to honour Brazil’s heritage than by enjoying a cup of Moon Roast’s Brazilian coffee?
A historic moment in Brazil’s journey
Over 200 years ago, during political upheaval and the influence of Enlightenment ideals, Brazil took a bold step toward freedom. On the banks of the Ipiranga River in São Paulo, Dom Pedro I declared the nation’s independence with the famous proclamation known as the “Grito da Independência” (Cry of Independence).
This powerful moment paved the way for Brazil’s transformation into a sovereign nation, with Dom Pedro I - becoming the first Emperor of Brazil. Today, the event is remembered as the cornerstone of Brazilian identity and unity.
How Brazil celebrates
Independence Day is one of Brazil’s most important national holidays. Across the country, the day is marked with:
- Military parades showcasing national pride
- Music and dance reflecting Brazil’s cultural vibrancy
- Traditional foods and festivities enjoyed with family and friends
- Patriotic displays, with flags waving proudly and the national anthem sung with passion
In 2025, Brazil will celebrate its 203rd anniversary of independence, with September 7th falling on a Sunday, giving many people the chance to enjoy a long weekend of festivities.
