São Miguel
What it is
The Azores' biggest festival: Ponta Delgada's streets are carpeted with flowers for a six-hour procession, with emigrants flying home from Canada and the US.
Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in São Miguel tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
