              People are taking part in the Tanabata Festival in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on July 7, 2024. The Tanabata Matsuri, or Star Festival, is a festival that usually takes place in July. During the festival, the streets are filling with paper or bamboo embellishments, with dances, music, and typical foods. Desires are being written on the Tanzaku--paper strips that are also known as 'wish strips'--which are then being burned along with bamboos, believing that the smoke is carrying the desires to the stars. For more than 30 years in the Liberdade district, the Tanabata Matsuri has been gathering dozens of attractions and attracting thousands of tourists every year. Nearly 100,000 people are visiting the event every year in Sao Paulo. (Photo by Cris Faga/NurPhoto)
