Porto's most popular event is St. John ([[Festa de São João|São João Festival]]) on the night of 23–24 June.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worldeventsguide.com/event/4421/Porto-Portugal/S-o-Jo-o-Festival-St-John-Festival.html |title=São João Festival (St John Festival) |publisher=World Events Guide |access-date=6 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080917024856/http://www.worldeventsguide.com/event/4421/Porto-Portugal/S-o-Jo-o-Festival-St-John-Festival.html |archive-date=17 September 2008 }}</ref> In this season it's a tradition to have a vase with bush basil decorated with a small poem. During the dinner of the great day, people usually eat sardines and boiled potatoes together with [[red wine]].

Another major event is [[Queima das Fitas]], which starts on the first Sunday of May and ends on the second Sunday of the month. Basically, before the beginning of the [[Study hall|study period]] preceding the school year's last exams, [[academia]] tries to have as much fun as possible. The week has 12 major events, starting with the Monumental Serenata on Sunday, and reaching its peak with the Cortejo Académico on Tuesday, when about 50,000 students of the city's higher education institutions march through the downtown streets till they reach the city hall. During every night of the week, a series of concerts takes place on the Queimódromo, next to the city's park, where it is also a tradition for the students in their second-to-last year to erect small tents where [[alcoholic beverages|alcohol]] is sold to finance the trip that takes place during the last year of their course of study; an average of 50,000 students attend these events.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.fap.pt/index.php?ch_site=queima |title=Federação Académica do Porto |website=Fap.pt |access-date=6 May 2009 |archive-date=21 May 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090521135803/http://fap.pt/index.php?ch_site=queima |url-status=live }}</ref>
