Travel Note

Sao Jao Festival

Join us early on the night of June 23rd, continuing into the early hours of June 24th for The Festa de São João- Porto’s most famous festival! This city-wide street party includes street concerts, dancing, and bonfire jumping. Midnight fireworks over the Douro River, illuminated lanterns, with street parties where strangers become friends, locals hand out basil plants with poems and plastic hammers are lovingly tapped on heads as a sign of good fortune. From sunset to sunrise, Porto transforms into a riot of color, music, grilled sardines, and spontaneous dancing in every square. We recommend staying in the heart of Porto for this experience!
