🇧🇷 We've added some Brazilian flair to the celebration! 🇧🇷

We’re thrilled to welcome local capoeira group Mão Pelo Pé to the stage at this summer’s Battle of the Bifanas II !

This year, we’re also celebrating and promoting the wider Portuguese world—bringing together incredible entertainment, and cuisine from across the diaspora. Mão Pelo Pé will represent Brazil and light up the stage with a vibrant fusion of music, movement, and tradition you won’t want to miss.

🕒 Catch their performance at 3:45 PM on event day!

Come for the food, stay for the capoeira, music, and unforgettable vibes! 🪘🎶

☀️ August in California is always beautiful and warm, so we make sure to provide plenty of delicious ways to help keep our event attendees cool and refreshed!

And who's cooler than our friends at Island Ice ? 😎

Wohoo! They're back this year with their yummy, authentic island-style shaved ice with tropical fruit flavors, Hawaiian ice cream, and "snow cap" (condensed milk) toppings!

Not only that, rumor is they'll be doing Sumol floats too!

Grab one for your kids, grab one for your self, grab one for Avô, people of all ages love some cold shaved ice!

See you on Saturday, August 22nd | San Jose, CA
