Brazil Day San Diego, one of Pacific Beach\u2019s \u2014 and arguably the entire city\u2019s \u2014 most anticipated events, comes around once a year. For those who miss it, that could mean major disappointment. There is, however, another option for residents and visitors to get their fill of all things Brazil, at least during July and August.
\nThe Bahia Hotel offers a taste of South America every Thursday during the summer months with its Brazilian Carnaval.
\nSituated on the hotel\u2019s private beach on Mission Bay (beware \u2014 you will get sand in your shoes and elsewhere), the evening spectacular features an authentic Brazilian buffet, including calamari salad, Brazilian rice, feijoada (pork and black bean stew) and moqueca de peixe (Brazilian fish stew). Dinner also includes a carving station with churrasco-style beef, and kids can get their fill at a children\u2019s buffet. The food is worth coming for, but the real attraction is the entertainment. Dancers, musicians and martial artists all perform on stage for the duration of the evening, with samba, capoeira and exotic performances taking place one after another.
\nFor those who arrive early, another surprise is in store. Exotic animals make an appearance prior to the evening\u2019s entertainment. On a recent Thursday, caretakers from?Wild Wonders brought rescued animals \u2014 including a friendly armadillo \u2014 for an up-close-and-personal encounter with audience members.
\nThe event takes place Thursdays from 6 to 9 p.m. For tickets or more information, visit www.bahiahotel.com\/dining-entertainment\/brazilian-carnaval\/.
\nThough there is only one Brazilian Carnaval at the Bahia left this year \u2014 today, Aug. 29 \u2014 the event will return next summer. Check Bahia\u2019s website for information on next year\u2019s Carnaval.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
