Terceira Island Festivals and Traditions

One of the most distinctive and traditional festivals on the island is the Festival of the Holy Spirit, which is celebrated annually in the city of Angra do Heroismo.
The Tradition of the Holy Spirit is intensely lived by the communities; the eight weeks between Easter Sunday and Trinity Sunday give way to festivities and to events where food is served to everyone for free.
