Carnival is a holiday?
First, let's talk about one of the most popular parties and loved by the Brazilian people, Carnival. Despite being the reason for a lot of partying, Carnival, which starts on the 20th of February and runs until the 22nd of the same month, is not a national holiday, being considered only an optional point.
In this way, it is not mandatory, and each employer can decide whether or not to release employees for the revelry.
