What ever happened to Sadie Hawkins Day?
Based on the comic strip character Sadie Hawkins from Lil’ Abner, Sadie (an unmarried woman) was said to chase bachelors through the streets for courtship and marriage on this notable November day. In Brazil, June 10th marks the Sao Jao Festival where practioners, mainly children, will dress in country costumes, and the girls will mock matrimony by asking the boys to marry. The traditional style “Forro” is the music and dance of the rural cowboys, and predominate this celebration.
