The “São João na Sé” Festivities

The Municipality of Funchal is hosting the first edition of “São João na Sé”, an initiative that brings together, for the first time, two of the city’s most iconic traditional festivities: the Festas da Sé and the Saint John’s Altars.

The initiative is presented as a “fusion” of these two traditional celebrations, taking place over nine days, from 19 to 27 June, and transforming Funchal’s city centre into a vibrant stage for music, gastronomy, culture and community spirit.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to enjoy performances by brass bands, musical groups and university folk ensembles, ensuring a lively atmosphere throughout the event.
