Nicolinas Festivities
The Nicolinas Festivities in Guimarães
The Nicolinas Festivities are a centuries-old tradition in Guimarães, held every year in late November and early December to honor Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of students.
Organized by local students, the events include:
- The Pinheiro (Nov 29): A lively procession with a pine tree and drums.
- The Magusto (Nov 30): A chestnut-roasting gathering to celebrate friendship.
- The Pregão: A humorous speech addressing local or current issues.
- The Maçãzinhas (Dec 6): Students offer apples to young women as a gesture of respect.
These festivities preserve Guimarães’ cultural heritage, strengthen community ties, and attract visitors from across the country.
