With 520 years of history, the celebration called “Festa das Fogaceiras” is one of the most precious testimonies to the involvement of the communities of Feira, both those of Santa Maria da Feira and those who remain abroad, in South Africa, Brazil and Venezuela, where locals and people of Portuguese descent joyfully recreate the most iconic festivity in the region. The programme for this festival of identity spans almost the entire month of January, with events for everyone.
