Our intention was to present the relationships between such commemorations and the curriculum taught in the classroom, that is, to what extent occurs the historical knowledge beyond the content of the programmes and plans of this discipline. Through the notes in the notebook of field, interviews with teachers of history and of the application of questionnaires to students, we seek to ascertain how and to what extent the celebrations analyzed allowed the learning in History. The sources of research were reviewed from the perspective of the school culture, in accordance with what is proposed by Dominique Julia, André Chervel and Antonio Viñao Frago. In the dissertation, in addition to the analyses considered relevant to teachers and students, we present a methodological proposal of teaching of History related to this issue, reflecting on the uses of the celebrations integrated to the curriculum, since it that these, in addition to moments of relaxation and sociability, there are fruitful enviroiments for the production of historical knowledge. We still speak about the presentation of a short course proposed for teachers of Basic Education of Xinguara, giving to these teachers discussions about the historical learning based on the results obtained in the research.
