Porto's riotous midsummer festival is the city's biggest party, with the port wine lodges of Vila Nova de Gaia playing a central role. While officially a saints' day celebration, port wine flows freely along the Ribeira waterfront, and several lodges host special tastings and events. Fireworks over the Douro at midnight are legendary.
