The celebration included a captivating band performance featuring nostalgic Portuguese instrumentals. A highlight of the event was a humorous and well-acted enactment of the Portuguese legend, “Galo de Barcelos.” Students also showcased a vibrant fashion show reflecting different styles from Portugal, particularly capturing the spirit of Carnival, with an accompanying array of culinary delicacies of Portugal. A soulful solo Fado performance added a touch of emotional depth to the event, along with another splendid rendition of Portuguese song. The entire program was elegantly hosted in Portuguese by students Jenson D’Costa and Caitlyn Gomes.
Dr. Paulo Gomes, in his speech, praised the efforts of the management, students, and their Portuguese teacher. He emphasized the importance of blending cultures and fostering a collaborative spirit.
