In an attempt to give new meaning to the date in Brazil, Law Project 2,762 of 2003 wants to institute the day of October 31 as Dia de Saci and his friends. Among the justifications for the celebration is the incentive to local culture in a strategic, purposeful and symbolic way. In Brazilian folklore, Saci is portrayed as a naughty boy, a fact that can be associated with Halloween tricks. Even so, many Brazilians prefer foreign traditions to celebrate Halloween.
