Fishing festivals, 12 to 13 Jun 2027

Feast of Saint Anthony, Lisbon

On the night of 12 June the old quarters of Lisbon fill with street parties and grilled sardines for Santo António.

Saint Anthony was born in Lisbon in the late 12th century, and his feast on 13 June is the high point of the city's June festivals. On the night before, the old quarters of Alfama, Mouraria and Bica fill with street parties, music and marches, and charcoal grills sell grilled sardines on bread. June is the start of the best sardine season, when the fish are fat. Portugal and Spain share the Iberian sardine stock, which fell sharply in the 2010s and has been managed with catch limits and seasonal closures since.

Still to be written: European pilchard, Atlantic horse mackerel.
