Santa Luzia, the small Ria Formosa village known as the octopus capital of the Algarve, holds its traditional Festas dos Pescadores from 7 to 10 August. The waterfront stage opens on the Friday with the band Descendentes playing their hit Carta de Despedida alongside 3AM Band and Kikocoxx, and the nights that follow bring Algarve favourites IRIS, singer-songwriter Bia Caboz and Matay to close the programme. Alongside the concerts, the festival keeps its religious core: a solemn procession and blessing of the fishing boats along the quay, in tribute to the community the village has depended on for generations. Expect fresh seafood stalls, a busy waterfront and a proper local crowd rather than a tourist show.
