The activity involved sharing cooked corn with the public who visited the space, evoking past customs and the spirit of conviviality and generosity associated with the celebration.
As part of the Museum of Franciscanism's Annual Activity Plan for 2026, the initiative's main objective was to preserve and value intangible cultural heritage, reviving practices and traditions that are part of the collective identity and memory of the communities.
The recreation of this tradition allowed different generations to connect with popular customs, promoting the transmission of knowledge and reinforcing the Museum's role in preserving, promoting, and disseminating local culture.
Through initiatives like this, the Ribeira Grande Municipal Council continues to promote Azorean traditions, keeping alive cultural manifestations that span generations and contribute to the municipality's identity.
