Chestnut festival in Curral das Freiras

For the 33rd time, the Chestnut Festival (Festa da Castanha) is to take place in Curral das Freiras.

castanha-722

This event takes thousands every year to that parish, and is this year to be covered by two programmes on “Na Minha Terra TV”. This TV channel, broadcast over the internet, supports the event, and will connect the parish to the world today at 20h and tomorrow as 12h.

The Festa da Castanha will reach its climax during the public holiday tomorrow, with 600 people taking part in the parade starting at 15h, in which the fruit is honoured.

For those that are away from the island, watching the event without the scent of the chestnut soup or the sweet cake will be difficult, but the online tv programme will attempt to diminish distances and cover the needs of those that miss the island.
