A gala dinner for emigrants is scheduled for Thursday, which should have an average of 50 to 60 emigrants, taking place at the Vip de Terra restaurant in Queimada Guincho and, on Friday, a popular dinner, canizade, popular dance and fireworks.
On Saturday and before the mass, which will be celebrated in the Sumbango chapel, it is planned, right after breakfast, a climb to the Cruz de São Filipe, located on Monte Sumbango, and after the mass, lunch for the guests.
The festival of São Filipe de Sumbango, according to party-goer Casimiro Monteiro, was celebrated on the same date as the festival of São Filipe in the city with the same name, on May 1st.
As it is smaller, it was named “Sanfilipim” (small Saint Philip) and to avoid the coincidence of the date of the celebration, it was decided to celebrate it on May 11th.
According to the partygoer, this year’s celebration began in the United States with a pylon to mobilize funds to support the arrival of artists, highlighting that this year’s party has some sponsorship from emigrants.
On May 13th, it will be the turn of the neighboring town of Fajãzinha to celebrate the festivities of its patron saint Our Lady of Fátima with a series of sporting, cultural and recreational activities, namely athletics competitions in the kids and senior male and female categories.
