On Saturday 14 November at 19:30 the Marcha Formosa, the group that puts together Porto Formoso's festival march, holds a São Martinho dinner at the village sports ground. The buffet runs from soups to meat and fish dishes and a spread of desserts, with hot chestnuts for the feast, and the evening carries on with music, karaoke and bingo. It is a community fundraiser-style night out on São Miguel's north coast, loud and sociable rather than refined. Seats are limited, so do not leave it to the day.
Practical information
Porto Formoso is a village on the north coast of São Miguel, east of Ribeira Grande. A car or taxi is the realistic way there and back at night; the listing gives no parking details.
