Carnaval CanGuru Na Folia 2-2HD, Portuguese Brazil Festival, Marrickville, Sydney 25 Feb 2017

A new two day family-friendly Portuguese and Brazilian festival, Canguru na Folia (meaning Kangaroo Revelry), is set to entertain with live music and performances that many of us have likely not experienced.

These vibrant cultures are giving us an insight into their worlds with a load of dancing to exotic beats of Brazilian drums and Samba music, along with a bar and food stalls that will have your taste buds dancing too.

Fun activities will keep the kids busy and all, young and old, are encouraged to dress in carnival costume. Competitions for best dressed, etc. could see you walking away with a prize.
