Utah Brazilian Festival 2010

With last year’s success in Salt Lake City,
the community was anxiously expecting the
event in 2010 to be bigger and better and
they got it. The people requested and we did
it again: Márcio Mendes and Mix Brazil Band
were back to Utah with more musicians and
instruments and double the fun. The community
support was bigger than ever and the opening
“Samba Carnaval Parade” was colorful and
counted with the participation of people from
all ages.
