São Pedro in Ribeira Brava started off with a bang. The night of famous marches brought together a real crowd throughout the town center, marking one of the highlights of this great festival.

This tradition continues to attract people from all over the island and tourists to see the props and choreographies of groups and associations that bring the São Pedro marches to life.

The tradition began in the early afternoon with the traditional pilgrimage of offerings to Saint Peter, which involved the typical charola from the Fajã da Ribeira site and the boat from Pomar da Rocha, Achada, and Pico da Banda d’Além.
