The parish of Nossa Senhora da Estrela in Ribeira Grande, on São Miguel's north coast, holds its São Martinho dinner on Saturday 14 November at 19:30 in the parish hall. It is organised by the church's lay movements and is a social evening around the autumn feast rather than a restaurant meal. Tickets are sold by members of those movements, at the sacristy and at the parish office of the Igreja Matriz, so you need to buy one in town beforehand; there is no mention of online sales.
The parish hall is in the centre of Ribeira Grande, on the north coast of São Miguel, about half an hour's drive from Ponta Delgada. Buses link the two towns, but a car or taxi is easier for the return at night.

Pictures need no translation, so this is a culture stop that works without Portuguese.
For families who live here or children who follow Portuguese; visitors without the language will get little from it.
