Rusgas de São João
Event
It can be considered "the cherry on top of the cake" of São João do Porto 2023. In the last weekend of festivities, the streets fill with traditional groups that perpetuate a tradition that continues. The Rusgas take to the streets with the themes and costumes defined for this year, on a special Saturday in the city center. Every parish has a group representing them, in the search for the most coveted prize: the best Rusga of 2023.
Starting at 6:30 pm this Saturday, July 1st, the groups will start at Passos Manuel Street, and then run through Santa Catarina Street, Fernandes Tomás Street, Trindade Street, and Dr. António Luís Gomes Street.
The parade ends with a performance in Praça do General Humberto Delgado, with Porto City Hall as a backdrop, where each raid will be evaluated by a jury with representatives appointed by the different parish councils and unions.
