Tuna, Skipjack and Seafood Festival

From 11 to 13 July, the parish of Caniçal will host the 8th Tuna, Skipjack and Seafood Festival.
The Tuna, Skipjack and Seafood Festival is a gastronomic festival that was born in 2016.
It takes place in the centre of the parish of Caniçal and is organised by the local authorities.
The aim of the festival is to honour fishermen and the hard work they put in at sea.

Caniçal is a fishing parish and the headquarters of the region’s tuna industry. Gaiado is a type of tuna traditionally eaten after it has been salted and dried in the sun. Seafood is equally popular in this small parish.

As well as good regional food, the three-day festival has a diverse programme with lots of entertainment and musical shows.
