Lily Festival in Campanário from September 25 to 28

The traditional Festival in Honour of Our Lady of Good Counsel in Campanário takes place from September 25 to 28, blending devotion with popular entertainment.

The Parish of Campanário celebrates the Festival in Honour of Our Lady of Good Counsel from September 25 to 28. This event, traditionally held on the last weekend of September, is one of the community's most anticipated moments.

The emblematic ritual of picking lilies in the early hours of Friday marks the start of the festivities. The flowers are then carried in a festive procession to decorate the chapel and the festival grounds. The program includes novenas, masses, a solemn procession, and a pilgrimage to raise funds for the chapel's restoration.

The celebration also features various musical attractions, promising to entertain locals, emigrants, and visitors.
