Every year, on the night of 23 June, thousands of people come to the city centre and to the most traditional neighborhoods to pay a tribute to Saint John. It is an extremely popular street celebration, probably one of the most important social events on the calendar in Portugal and one of Europe’s largest street festivals.
The traditional attractions of the night include street concerts, popular dancing parties, jumping over flames, eating barbecued sardines and meat, drinking wine and releasing illuminated flame-propelled balloons over Porto's summer sky.
