The objective was to verify if the colonization history of different regions of Santa Catarina is reflected on the current distribution of the folkloric groups of the state. The quantitative data were taken from the list provided by the Fundação Catarinense de Cultura. For the historical information, a bibliographic review was done. There are 182 groups registered, distributed on 74 cities. The most abundant ethnicity was German, followed by Portuguese-Azorean, Italian, gaúcha, other European countries, mixed groups, African-brazilian and others. The Portuguese-Azorean groups concentrate on the coast, what agrees with the fact they were responsible for the oldest colonization. For the Germans and other Europeans, the two main colonization waves historically registered were geographically observed: first on the northeast and Itajaí’s valley and after on the west. It was perceived that the distribution of the folkloric groups of each ethnicity is related to the colonization process of the different regions.
