St John and St Anthony Festivals

Location: All across Brava, Santo Antao and Sao Nicolau.
Starts: Thursday 13 May
Ends: Thursday 24 June

There are several Cape Verde holidays throughout the year, especially since every island or municipality has its own patron saint, and the feast day of each patron saint is celebrated.

In May and June there are the traditional festivals of St John and St Anthony on the islands of Brava, Santo Antao and Sao Nicolau. Vibrant, bright and buoyant celebrations take place and, although the emphasis in recent years has edged slightly away from religious elements, there is still a great deal to charm and entertain holidaymakers; watching the islands come alive in a torrent of lively colour and festivity.
