On Wednesday 11 November, St Martin's Day, the Santa Casa da Misericórdia of Velas sets up its traditional São Martinho fair in front of the town hall, the Paços do Concelho, from 10:00 to 14:00. Expect a row of small stalls selling things, with roast chestnuts as the fixed point of the day, and a crowd that is mostly local people meeting over them. Entry is free. It is a modest village-scale gathering rather than a festival, but if you are on São Jorge that morning it is an easy, genuine slice of the island's autumn calendar.
Practical information
The fair is in the centre of Velas on São Jorge, in front of the town hall and within walking distance of the harbour where the inter-island ferries dock.
It is held outdoors and no indoor alternative is announced; on a wet morning bring a jacket.
