With rituals that endure over time, the Festa das Fogaceiras is one of the largest religious events in the North of Portugal and the most recognizable festival in the municipality of Santa Maria da Feira.

Santa Maria da Feira
The bonfire girls, who carry the stove to the head, dressed in white with colored bands around their waist, fulfilling the promise made to martyr S. Sebastião in 1505, are the icon of this secular festival.
An unmissable experience is the genuine tasting of Fogaça da Feira, a votive symbol of the Festa das Fogaceiras and gastronomic ex-libris of the territory.
