The feast in honour of Saint John in Porto is one of the liveliest street festivals in Portugal and it takes place on 24th of June.
Although the feast has a religious foundation, it's better known for people hitting on each other's on the head with plastic hammers, a tradition which no one seems to know its origins. At first, this tradition might be seen a little bit violent, but everybody is very gentle when hitting, and also, it's a great way to meet people especially when the main target is the opposite sex.
