Sal Music festival

The Sal Music Festival, which takes place over a weekend in September, has grown to be one of the most famous festivals in Cape Verde that attracts both local and international performers. The music performed is a fantastic blend of many different styles and influences. People from all around Cape Verde, as well as visitors, gather at Santa Maria beach for the celebration, and many camp out on the beach for the duration. When the sun sets, bonfires are lit, and the party continues well into the night.

The Sal Music Festival attracts tens of thousands of visitors to Cape Verde. Locals travel from the islands to Santa Maria and set up camp on the beach where the celebration is held. Food and drinks are also featured as part of a West African tradition that has grown in popularity.

The celebration continues into the evening, with guests enjoying soul music around a bonfire.
