Brazil's Republic Day on Sunday, November 15, marks the proclamation of the republic.

Public holidays in Brazil can be set at the federal, state and municipal level, and most are observed across the country. This one recalls the end of the empire and the start of the republic in 1889. The day is kept as a public holiday, so streets, beaches and promenades may have a different rhythm.

On the Copacabana Beach camera in Rio de Janeiro, look for the long sweep of white sand near Guanabara Bay and the avenue lined with shops and bars behind it. On the Ponta Negra beach view in Natal, the focus is the shoreline below Morro do Careca, a dune that marks one of the city's best-known beaches. In Balneário Camboriú, the Avenida Atlântica camera watches the main beachfront road, while the Barra Norte view takes in the stretch from Pontal Norte toward Praia Brava, with the FG Big Wheel standing close by. Open Copacabana first if you want the broadest holiday scene, then move to Avenida Atlântica for the street-and-beach mix.
