Stop wondering ... and dance in the Sanjoaninas Festival
The Sanjoaninas, festivities honoring St. John, take over the streets of Angra do Heroísmo during ten days in the month of June. It’s one of the oldest traditions from Terceira Island.
Parades, musical concerts featuring local artist and international musicians, bullfighting (in arenas and with bulls on a rope), food stands, theater performances, fireworks and sporting events culminate in the parade of the so-called popular marches on the eve of St. John’s Day.
