]]> Living up to the fact that it is nicknamed the “land of wine” in Madeira, the Porto da Cruz Community Centre annually organizes the Grape and Farmer Festival.
This dynamic event seeks to value farmers, with the aim of promoting new ways of marketing and producing grapes, as well as sharing knowledge about wine production in general.
On the 5th and 6th September, during the grape harvest season, this parish with a strong winemaking tradition invites everyone to participate in the festivities which includes, among many others activities, an ethnographic parade alluding to the customs of Porto da Cruz.

In addition to this, the food and drink stalls, as well as the music entertainment, are two constants in this cheerful festival!

It is an event that sets the begining of Carnival festivities in the Region, known for its originality, marked by its gigantic figures who roam the streets of this quiet town located on the north of the Madeira island, in a parade full of humour, lots of colour and joy.

The festival culminates in the traditional Trial and Burning of the “Comadres” and “Compadres”, a ceremony filled with humour, social critique and tradition, taking place, on 5 and 12 February.

]]> From the second half of December until Christmas eve, Madeirans get up at the crack of dawn to participate in the masses honoring Our Lady.

After mass, in the church square, people share sandwiches of “carne de vinha d’alhos” (pork in wine and garlic), homemade liquors, songs and joy of the Christmas spirit. This is surely one of the best ways to get to know Madeirans’ Christmas spirit.
