In order to promote Christmas traditions, it will be held a series of workshops regarding delicacies and products that characterise Madeira Christmas and New Year’s season 

From 16th to 24th December, Madeira celebrates one of its main Christmas traditions: the Childbirth Masses.

Shopping for the final Christmas gifts on the night of the 23rd of December is a tradition that leads thousands of Madeireans to the Market streets in Funchal.
 

The Tour of the City of Funchal is an event promoted by the Madeira Athletics Association and considered one of the oldest of its kind in Portugal and Europe.

The event of the year will take place on the 1st of January at noon, at Ponta Gorda Bathing Complex, also known as “Poças do Governador”.

This is one of the oldest and most popular traditions in Madeira celebrated a little all over the island, a ritual that brings together families, friends and neighbours who come out to the streets to "sing the epiphany” or “Janeiras” from door to door.

This is a famous and old Madeira tradition enjoyed with a special feeling by the local residents of Seixal, a small village located near Porto Moniz, to be held on January,26th.
