Portugal Day commemorates the death of Luis de Camões, in addition to celebrating the nation's culture, history, and language. The day is dedicated to paying tribute to the Portuguese community's achievements and contributions worldwide. This observance aims to foster connections among the Portuguese diaspora and encourage the preservation of Portuguese heritage, culture, and traditions. The initial wave of Portuguese immigrants arrived in Canada during the 1950s and 1960s, seeking better living conditions and economic opportunities. Today, there are roughly 500,000 people of Portuguese descent living in Canada, with the majority residing in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. A significant proportion of this community continues to identify strongly with Portuguese culture and heritage, making Portugal Day a powerful symbol of ethnic identity and unity among this community. Portugal Day festivities may include events showcasing traditional music, dance, and cuisine, in addition to public rallies and parades. The heart of these festivities can often be found in Toronto's Little Portugal neighbourhood, where the city's annual Portugal Day Parade brings thousands to the streets to celebrate their heritage in grand style. Portugal Day is celebrated annually on June 10th. Top X Posts (formerly Tweets) for Portugal Day -Updated
