Caboclo Day (Dia do Caboclo) is observed in Brazil, specifically as an official public holiday in the state of Amazonas, every June 24. This annual celebration honors the caboclo ethnic group, which consists of individuals of mixed European and Indigenous Brazilian descent, primarily stemming from Amerindian women and Portuguese settlers. The caboclos represent about 21% of Brazil's population, with genetic studies indicating their DNA comprises 70% to 90% European ancestry alongside various Amerindian markers. The day was established to recognize the identity and cultural contributions of the first caboclos and their descendants. Additionally, Brazil commemorates other ethnic groups through holidays such as Mixed Race Day, Indian Day, and Black Awareness Day.
