Sumario:The German festivals of the State of Santa Catarina in Brazil reveal the cultural inheritance of the German colonies which formed for a long time isolated cores, maintaining links with the fatherland. They founded schools, churches and institutions after the German culture. During the thirties, the values of “Deutschtum” were repressed by the Brazilian government and an underground/secret memory was formed, but confined to silence. Nevertheless, this “subterranean” memory found a moment convenient to its resurrection in the eighties, thanks to the plan of tourist development. Although these festivals had an economic objective, they also intended to release a repressed memory, and to celebrate the recognition of a sector of the local population. They appear as the most recent form of German-Brazilian ethnicity, as they brought pride to German descendants in Brazil.
