Saint Jhon's is a festival that happens every year during midsummer in the city of Porto, on the night of 23 of June. Thousands of people come to the city just to be part of this celebration.
With many religious and profane traditions it is one of the biggest festival in Portugal, paying homage to Saint John the Baptist. Here you can experience some traditional Portuguese dishes, watch fireworks near river Douro, send small hot air ballons into the night sky and even participate in a crazy gathering in the streets of Porto with all the people hitting eachother in the head with plastic hammers.
