Santos Populares
As festas dos santos populares proporcionam noites quentes e de grande folia. Enchem-se as ruas de balões, papéis e faixas coloridas. As pessoas dançam em largos e praças para pedir sorte a Santo António, São João e São Pedro. Assam-se e comem-se sardinhas na rua. Em Lisboa, há uma grande competição de marchas, na Avenida da Liberdade. Outro evento são as noivas de Santo António (o santo casamenteiro) que se casam na Sé de Lisboa.
