Many people celebrate this day as a day of personal pampering and a tad of self-worship, or to make it a guys or girls-night-out, without the overlook of anyone and defending the freedom singles defends. 

this day is popular for parties, especially in famous clubs or particularly romantic establishments, such as the ones along the edge of lagoa rodrigo de freitas or the cobble stone roads of santa teresa.

yet, with rio's signature star gazing and samba dancing romance many singles might stay that way for long.

father's day (dia dos pais) is an annual holiday celebrated around the world to honor fathers and grandfathers and all they do for their families.
