There is an important festival every four years, the Festival of the Tabuleiros. The last festival was on June and July 2007.

The "Tray Festival" is an ancient tradition of the city. It originally begun in a little village of the city, called Carregueiros. The population parades in pairs with the girl carrying a tray in its head. The tray is made of 30 bread, either 6 rows of 5 or 5 rows of 6 and its decorated with flowers. At the top of each one we can find a crown which normally contains either the white fowl, meaning the holly spirit or the armilar sphere, a symbol revaluing the Portuguese maritime expansion.
