The festivities plan, in addition to the usual musical line-up, to give greater focus to the religious component of the festival, which will be complemented by a cultural line-up.

The procession at sea will take place on August 19, followed by the fireworks display, and on the 20th the procession by foot will take place through the streets of the village, running North and South of the Historic Center and passing by Ericeira’s religious temples.

During these 10 days, the public will be able to find a selection of regional products and handicrafts, “street food” and even children’s entertainment in the festival grounds.
