Several thousand turn out for Portuguese Festival parade today

NEWARK — Near the intersection of Ferry and Merchant streets in Newark today, 11 men on horseback waited to join the Portuguese Parade.

Mounted on the tallest horse, a spotted brown and white Appaloosa named Cash, Tony De Carvalho, of Elizabeth, held the reins loosely and chatted with the men around him.
"The horse? Well, it’s in my blood," he said.
De Carvalho, grandson of a Brazilian rancher, rides in the parade nearly every year. Today, his son rode with him, and his grandson rode behind them in a red wagon drawn by sleek, brown Belgian work horses.

Terminadas as celebrações do Dia de Portugal 2011 organizadas pelos Clubes membros da UCLANJ, procuramos saber o que pensaram os Portugueses das celebrações. Aqui deixamos alguns comentarios que encontramos no Facebook. Se quizer enviar o seu comentário, envie um email para This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

Nela Mendes Good Job. It was a pleasure to see so many Portuguese people watching the parade and wearing the Portuguese shirts. We are on the right track. Congratulations and Thank you for all the hard work. Viva Portugal

Mariana Oliveira I thought it was great the way it was this year. Nice and simple. It has not been the same the past couple of years and its sad. I also think the parade should start alittle earlier.

Antonio E Romy Cruz Este ano voltou a ser Dia de Portugal,a Parada esteve bem, praticamente so Portugueses,valeu a pena a mudanca !!!Viva Portugal!!!
