You may be planning your Valentine’s Day flowers and chocolates for February 14, but here’s a twist: Is Valentine’s Day celebrated in Brazil? Not exactly — but romance is still very much alive and thriving in this vibrant country.
At Almagems, where meaningful gifting is our passion, we’re always fascinated by how love is expressed across cultures. Let’s dive into how Brazilians celebrate their own unique version of Valentine’s Day — and how you can make it even more special with the right personalized gift.
What Is Brazilian Valentine’s Day?
No, Brazil does not celebrate Valentine’s Day on February 14 like many other countries. Instead, Brazilians celebrate love on June 12, a day known as Dia dos Namorados, which translates to “Lovers’ Day.”
Why June 12?
Dia dos Namorados falls on the eve of St. Anthony’s Day (June 13), the patron saint of marriage and matchmaking. In Brazilian culture, Saint Anthony is believed to bless couples with strong, lasting unions — making June 12 a naturally romantic occasion.
Is Valentine’s Day Celebrated in Brazil?
To answer directly: Yes, but not on February 14. In Brazil, Valentine’s Day is celebrated as Dia dos Namorados on June 12. The spirit is the same — expressing love, appreciation, and connection — but the traditions have a uniquely Brazilian flair.
How Brazilians Celebrate:
-
Gifting flowers, chocolates, jewelry, and perfumes
-
Writing heartfelt love notes or poems
-
Romantic dinners and weekend getaways
-
Exchanging personalized gifts that reflect the couple’s story
While Brazil doesn’t technically follow the international Valentine’s Day schedule, love is certainly in the air — just a few months later!'
