Em vez de dizer: Festa Junina can happen around June and July, but the dates which it frequently takes place are 24th June (St. John's day) and 13th June (St. Anthony's day).
Você diz: Festa Junina can happy around the months of June or July but the dates in which it frequently takes place are June 24th or June 13th.

Em vez de dizer: Do you have any similar festival to Festa Junina in the USA?
Você diz: Do you have any similiar festivals in the U.S.

Nós normalmente não dizem USA, nós só dizer US. Eu não posso pensar de qualquer celebrações semelhantes, mas que parece divertido!
