August is almost upon us again and as ever the second weekend of the month sees the traditional fisherman's festival in Santa Luzia.
This is the busiest weekend of the year in SL and the transformation is incredible. The promenade is lined with stalls selling craft items and traditional foodstuffs and a huge stage is erected on the western end where free live entertainment is provided during the four days of the festival.
This years line up is:-
Friday 12th August D.J. Pedro Jinga
Banda Iris
D.J. Fabio Palma
Saturday 13th August Xico Barata
Sunday 14th August Noite do Fado featuring Pedro Viola.
Monday 14th August Rita Guerra
The week prior to the festival sees the build up commence with Expoluzia 2011 during which stalls offering craft items from Portugal and the rest of the world line the promenade along with exibitions from various local organisations and bodies.
My holidays are booked and Joan and I will be in town from the 11th of August to the 25th.
