Pilgrimage of Nossa Senhora da Cola | The Best Summer Festival
Organized by the Santa Casa Misericórdia de Ourique, the Pilgrimage of Nossa Senhora da Cola is back.
We’re just over two weeks away from the best summer festival. As usual, the pilgrimage will take place on September 7 and 8 (a municipal holiday) at the Sanctuary of Cola, in the municipality of Ourique.
Hundreds of pilgrims and visitors are expected, drawn by their devotion and, at the same time, by the excitement of two days of festivities.
On September 7 and 8, the devout and the curious alike will relive the spirit of this celebration. Straddling the line between the sacred and the profane, some fulfill vows and pray, while others sing, laugh, and toast in honor of Our Lady of Cola, celebrating the most authentic tradition of the municipality of Ourique.
On the evening of the 7th, at 8:00 p.m., there will be a dance featuring Emanuel and Tânia. Mário Pica. Then, at 11:00 p.m., get ready for the concert featuring Chave D’Ouro.
On the 8th, at 11:00 a.m., a solemn Mass will be held in honor of Nossa Senhora da Cola. An hour later (at 12:00 p.m.), the procession, accompanied by the Ourique Choral Group, will take to the streets once again.
One of the new features of this year’s festival begins at 2:00 p.m., with a performance by the Ourique Choral Group and the Ourique Municipality Children’s Choral Group, bringing together different generations of the municipality’s choral tradition on stage.
Finally, at 2:30 p.m., there will be a matinee performance by Luis Godinho.
Don’t miss the best summer festival!
