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 .
