These are the parties held in June:

Festas de S. João: it is the biggest party in the city of Porto. The patron saint is Our Lady of Vandoma, but it is St. John who has the right to a party. On the night of June 23 to 24, everyone goes out to celebrate the feast of St. John. It is tradition

to eat grilled sardines, to buy the sweet smelling basil and to walk with a hammer in their hands, beating the heads of revelers. The city is filled with streets full of people dancing in the“ bailaricos” of each parish. It ' s a unique party all over the world.
