I live in The Mile End neighbourhood of Montreal and there is a large Portuguese contingent here. Religious parades go up my street a few times every summer and then there's the Portuguese festival. Well I don't know what it's really called because I don't speak Portuguese, but basically every August the parking lot in front of the Portuguese church becomes a party ground. There is the pit where you can cook your own meat (top photo), an hour and a half line up for traditional Portuguese bread (I know because I waited in line!), music and much more. Above are some of my impressions of this fun night.
