Every year, the vibrant community of Ponta do Pargo comes together to celebrate one of its most cherished local products—the pêro, a unique fruit that has been a symbol of the region’s agricultural heritage since the festival's inception in 1984. The Festa do Pêro, happening this year on the 21st and 22nd of September along Rua Dr. Vasco Augusto da França, is a perfect opportunity to experience the richness of Madeira's rural traditions.
Immerse yourself in the authentic charm of Madeira, one taste of the pêro at a time.
The festival was born out of the local community's desire to showcase the fruits of their land, with the pêro taking center stage. Known for its distinct color, aroma, and brightness, the pêro is not only a delicious treat but also a symbol of the region's identity and history. Traditionally used as both a food source and a natural remedy, it has become an emblematic product of Ponta do Pargo, embodying the hard work and passion of local farmers.
Join us at the Festa do Pêro for an unforgettable journey into the rich traditions of Madeira.
