Ponte de Lima experienced on Saturday the most intense day of Feiras Novas, with the dawn and the sound of the drum beaters taking over the streets and Largo de Camões. In the early hours of the morning, there were still people in the streets after the night of festivities, when the drum beaters began to set the rhythm and announce another day of celebrations.
Among those who had stayed up through the night, musicians and drum groups, the village gained new momentum for the most eventful day of the pilgrimage. The event combines tradition, music and thousands of people in the streets, keeping the excitement going throughout the entire day.
The ethnographic procession is described as one of the most attraction-packed moments of Feiras Novas. The parade once again stands as one of the major highlights of the celebration, drawing crowds to the streets of Ponte de Lima.
