Book your surf course for June 23 – 30 and join us for the best celebration of the summer, São João Porto!!!
Very likely the most fun, but least known, street festival in Europe is the festival of São João in Porto. The festival itself has sacred and pagan roots, but nowadays it is all about the epic street party! São João is the patron saint of lovers, and love is certainly in the air in Porto.
The festivities begin in the afternoon of June 23 and last until the sun rises the following morning. The evening culminates in an incredible fireworks display over the Douro River in the center of Porto. You can decide for yourself whether you’d like to head home at a respectable hour or dance until dawn. You can even stay up all night and head to the beach to see the bonfires and watch the sun rise over beautiful Porto.
The festival is mainly organised around the Douro River and the Historic Ribeira waterfront district, where music stages and food stalls line the riverside. Street barbecues sell Superbock, sangria and grilled sardines.
The absolute best, and worst, São João tradition is the colorful and noisy plastic mallets everyone buys and carries around to… bash strangers on the head. Are you feeling the love?
