CLUB FINLÂNDIA

The Germanic and Italian traditions of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina and the crazy beer festivals of Blumenau are well known, but Brazil also has an arty Finnish folklore. This "Finnish" club was founded in 1943 by the pioneer settlers of Penedo to preserve Finnish cultural traditions. The owners of the village's pousadas liked to take their guests there for dancing on Saturday nights. Traditional folk dances in costume are performed here. There is a museum with explanations of Finnish culture.
