Celebrating Portuguese Culture, Popular Saints and the Oceans!
Join us as we embrace the spirit of Portugal, honor our traditions, and work together to protect the beauty of our planet.
Portugal National Day
On the 10th of June, Portugal Day, we commemorate the life and achievements of Luis de Camoes, one of the greatest poets in Portuguese literature.
Camoes is celebrated for his epic work, “Os Lusíadas“, which explores Portugal’s maritime history and its global impact.
Let us pay tribute to this influential figure and the cultural legacy he has left behind.
Popular Saints Festivities
June is also synonymous with lively street parties and celebrations honouring popular saints:
- 13th June – Sto. António (Saint Anthony) and
- 24th June – S. João (Saint John)
- 29th June – S. Pedro (Saint Peter)
They are particularly revered in Portugal, with colourful processions, music, traditional dances, and delicious food taking centre stage.
These festivities bring communities together and offer a glimpse into the rich traditions and customs that have shaped the Portuguese identity.
World Oceans Day – June 8th – reminds us of the vital role oceans play in sustaining life on Earth.
As a coastal country, Portugal’s connection to the ocean runs deep.
