A flower-to-the-sea procession and sunset dinner headline Yemanjá Day at Txai Resort Itacaré on February 2, on Brazil’s Bahia coast.
Honored across Brazil’s coastline, Yemanjá is revered in Afro-Brazilian religions as the Queen of the Sea. The date brings together rituals and cultural expressions tied to faith, protection, fertility, and a deep connection to nature.
What’s happening on February 2
Set in southern Bahia, Txai Resort Itacaré has designed a guest-only program that blends hospitality, gastronomy, music, and cultural experiences inspired by the symbolism of February 2.
The day’s highlight is a symbolic procession starting at 3:00 pm, when baskets of offerings and flowers are taken to the sea. The gesture represents gratitude, renewal, and a moment of connection with Yemanjá, honoring the traditions associated with the waters.
Sunset dinner and samba de roda
The culinary experience features a special menu with elements and sides that echo the celebration’s meaning. A seaside welcome begins the evening and continues after the procession.
Dinner is served at sunset from 7:30 pm, accompanied by samba de roda from Samba de Ayé, bringing a distinctly Bahian rhythm to the night.
