2008 Sao Paio Festival


This year we celebrated our 58th Sao Paio Festival. Even with the hurricanes (Faye, I think) brewing just south of us, our weather was superb. All three days of the festival experienced clear cool weather perfect for eating, drinking, and dancing!

Saturday night we had the mishap of the power transformer across the street blowing, leaving us with power to only half of our property. This still did not stop everyone from having a good time. We do however thank the band, The Navegantes, and the crowd, for being patient while we came up with a solution for them to be able to continue to play and enjoy the night.

Sunday, Eratoxica from Massachusetts rocked the house, or should I say neighborhood, for another awesome day of fun. Luckily, we had no major issues. We had one of the busiest Sundays on quite sometime. Eratoxica is just awesome and all of the people here just loved them.

With all of that said, we hope that you all had a great Sao Paio weekend with us. If you were unable to make it, you could always watch the video below to see all of the fun and make sure that you schedule next years Sao Paio in your agenda as we have already started working on next years activities.

One last thing, the Board of Directors would like to thank the Sao Paio Festival Committee and all of the volunteers that helped throughout the weekend. Over 100 volunteers assisted with all of the hard work. Without our volunteers (and sponsors), none of this would be possible. Thanks again!
