In this festival, the main event of the local community, the streets of the village are artistically decorated with around 1 kilometre of flower carpets, prepared by the community.
This is a collective work that begins days before with the harvesting and preparation of the flowers, a challenge for the entire community and takes shape in the early hours of Sunday, when hundreds of volunteers dedicate themselves, during the night, to creating the carpets along which the Alleluia Procession will pass.
Easter morning begins at 9:30 am, with the opening of the streets to the public and the start of the Easter Flavors Meeting, in Largo de São Sebastião, and the Crafts Exhibition, in the Adro da Igreja Matriz. At 10 am, at the main church, the Eucharist of the Resurrection is celebrated, followed by the long-awaited Alleluia Procession, which runs through the flower-filled streets to the sound of the traditional song: “He is risen as he said! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!”
Throughout the afternoon, from 3:30 pm, the party continues in the Churchyard with a cultural program that includes displays of sweets and snacks, awards for the Floral Games and the flower torch competition, and music and dance performances, with the groups Os Vizinhos, São Brás Bailando and Tanya.
