Find out which holidays and main commemorative dates are in September
September is a significant month for Brazil, not because of the number of commemorative dates , but because of their significance. Especially because of September 7th, which celebrates Brazil's Independence Day —a national holiday of great symbolism.
This year's date falls on a Sunday and is expected to be marked by popular mobilization. Supporters of Lula and Bolsonaro are taking to social media, calling for September 7th, when the mobilization will take to the streets. The trial of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), scheduled to begin on September 2nd, is expected to fuel the protests.
In addition, September brings other important historical celebrations, such as the Political Emancipation of Alagoas and Gaucho Day, which commemorates the beginning of the Farroupilha Revolution.
September 7: the main holiday of the month, which recognizes Brazil's IndependenceBrazil is preparing to celebrate its most important civic date, September 7 : Independence Day, which in 2025 will fall on a Sunday.
The achievement of independence was the result of a series of factors, such as conflicts of interest between the Portuguese Crown and local elites, the influence of liberal movements on the international scene and, above all, the transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil in 1808.
It was in this context that, on September 7, 1822, Dom Pedro I proclaimed independence, a gesture that became ingrained in the collective memory with the famous cry "Independence or death!" Despite historical doubts about the exact location of the act, it marked the definitive break with Portuguese rule and consolidated the birth of a sovereign nation.
Since then, the date has been officially recognized as a national holiday, as established by laws nº 662/1949 and nº 10.607/2002.
What other holidays are celebrated in September?In September, there are still days dedicated to different professions and also dates that commemorate decisive moments in Brazilian history – especially in Alagoas and Rio Grande do Sul –, making the period even more significant.
Curitiba will also be a holiday on September 8th, celebrating Our Lady of the Light of the Pine Trees Day. Unlike most Brazilian municipalities, which have made their birthdays local holidays, the capital of Paraná has decided to close only on its patron saint's day—and following the Independence Day holiday.
