At the end of March, in the northern hemisphere, the spring equinox begins, a season full of color and flowers such as hyacinths, bloody hearts, cornflowers, daffoldis, geraniums, and primroses. In the United States, after months of very cold, snow and use of thermal clothes, this time of year is very celebrated and lived intensely.
This moment is called Spring Break, a vacation period that takes place between the months of March and April for American schools and universities. In these months, young people travel to the coastal regions of the country or even to other warmer countries.
The main destinations are usually Phoenix, Miami, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Las Vegas. But one of the most famous is Cancun, Mexico. These places are crowded and the parties last for hours.
However, this is not just a tradition of today's young people. It appeared in the 1950s, when a group of friends went to Florida. With all the hustle and bustle and beautiful beaches, little by little, other young people began to travel to the coast in these months. The first documentation of the event was in 1959, when Time magazine made an article about Spring Break. After this publication, several countries in Europe and also Japan began to adopt the date.
And for those who don't like parties and the beach, there are also other spring activities. In Washington DC, in April, the National Cherry Blossom Festival takes place, in addition to the Cherry Blossoms parade. Two events that always attract many tourists.
Other events are: the Dogwood Festival in Atlanta, where there are several exhibitions, musical shows and art in general. In New Orleans, the New Orleans Wine and Food Festival takes place, which unites about 175 wineries and several chefs united in favor of fundraising for NGOs, in addition to Primavera Sound, a music festival very famous for bringing artists from the alternative scene.
Spring In Brazil:
Like the United States, when spring takes place in the southern hemisphere (between September and December), in Brazil the Cherry Festival also takes place in several parks in several Brazilian cities. The event is very popular and several families go to the places to take pictures and observe the trees.
Other flowers present in the Brazilian flora at this time of year are: roses, sunflowers, chrysanthemums, lilies, jasmines, orchids, gerberas, tulips, and violets.
In addition, since 2022, Primavera Sound also takes place in Brazil, more specifically in São Paulo and welcomes several national and international artists.
It is also in the spring that school and university holidays begin, it is from the middle of the equinox that several young people and families also go to the beaches of the country.
