It happens every year: tradition joins religion and popular culture. In honor of São Gonçalo de Amarante, patron saint of the municipality, thousands invade the streets and give life to the June Festivals.

Amarante
On the first weekend of the month, in the heart of the historic center and around Tâmega, the entertainment is great, be it during the day or night - there are bombs in the street, musical bands, folkloric ranches, marches and tents where the phallic sweets stand out, the most emblematic of Amarante. All of these are reasons not to miss the excitement. And, being a religious festival, the exponent of faith culminates with the procession in honor of São Gonçalo.
The June festivities attract thousands of people to the city.
