A favorite among many Brazilians and anticipated since January, the June festivities are already booming, bringing together a large crowd of all ages to jump over bonfires, eat delicious treats and enjoy the cold winter breeze. Known for their traditional costumes and music, the popular São João festival can be a great option for those who enjoy a country party with friends and family. For those who prefer tranquility, know that it is more than possible to bring all the joy of the festivities into your home . Below, check out our tips for throwing a June party at home and everything you can't miss in your decoration!

1. Clothesline flags

If there's one decorative item that has everything to do with a June festival, it's the clothesline flag . A trademark of the country festivals, these colorful flags can be found at super affordable prices and set the right mood for the party.

2. Checkered tablecloth

When you're setting a table full of cornmeal cake, green corn and mulled wine for your guests, don't forget a checkered tablecloth : besides being a very common pattern during this festive period, checkered also makes your arrangement much more interesting - making it seem like you put more energy into the production than you actually did.

3. Straw baskets and placemats

Crafts are also closely linked to the June festivities: and that's where decorative items made from braided straw , cork or even crochet come in. Whether it's baskets (or bowls ), placemats or placemats, the cool thing is to mix different materials to create a more relaxed look.

4. Candy apple

Some people say that their taste doesn't live up to their appearance, but there's no denying that candy apples look charming on the table . Their red color and the shine of the sugar make them a great decorative element, and even if no one is going to eat them, it's worth leaving a few candy apples scattered around the table to add a touch of color to the decor.

5. Sunflowers and dry branches

The sunflower is the official ambassador of the June festival – we don’t know why, but the image of the flower and the country festival are highly intertwined in the Brazilian imagination. It’s worth thinking about an arrangement of sunflowers combined with dry branches , bringing the best of the cerrado climate to the celebrations.
