The following are some important dates in the Cape Verde calendar: This might be anything from a religious service to a musical performance.

The Carnival is So Vicente's most popular festival, which is influenced by Brazilian carnivals and infused with its common tradition of Portuguese flavors. The Cape Verdeans and visitors alike enjoy the street parades. One of the greatest times to visit Cape Verde is in February, when the island's most colorful and beautiful celebration takes place. It's nearly difficult to avoid the party and never-ending music no matter where you go. The most extravagant and hedonistic parties take place on the streets of Praia and Mindelo, when everyone dons their best outfits and casts their inhibitions aside.
