The locality of Atalaia, in Gavião, hosted thousands of people between September 21st, 22nd, and 23rd for the festival in honor of Nossa Senhora dos Remédios. The event, held at the José Júlio Delgado Cabeça Sports Complex, featured musical moments and brought together residents and former inhabitants of the parish.
The traditional bull-running event (garraiada) was present, and on the final day, a lively card tournament (sueca) took place. Germano Porfírio, president of the Union of Freguesias of Gavião and Atalaia, was involved in the organization, overseeing the bar service and being part of a committee that ensured the event's smooth operation, from the roasted chicken service to the musical performances.
Devotion to Nossa Senhora dos Remédios was celebrated with two processions. A nighttime one, starting from the chapel of the same name, and a daytime one, in the reverse direction. Both were accompanied by the bands from Gavião and Nossa Senhora das Mercês (from the parish of Feteira, in Angra do Heroísmo). The processions were presided over by the parish priest Cristiano Pedro and attended by confraternities. António Severino, president of the Municipal Chamber of Gavião, carried the main float.
