Brazilian Night is an evening of free, family-friendly, Brazilian performances including a mixture of music, dance, and capoeira. Organized by Project Capoeira, a not-for-profit organization that preserves, develops, and shares capoeira (a Brazilian folk and martial art) and uses it as a vehicle to promote other Brazilian arts and preserve Brazilian culture.

Brazilian Night is the precursor to Brazilian Day Philadelphia, a free festival on September 7.
