June in Lisbon means one thing: it’s time to party in honor of Saint Anthony, Lisbon’s beloved patron saint. The Santo António Festival 2025 is one of the most exciting and vibrant times to be in the city – and staying with Lost Inn Lisbon puts you right in the heart of it all.
What is the Saint Anthony Festival?
Every year, from late May to mid-June, the streets of Lisbon come alive with color, music, and the mouthwatering smell of grilled sardines. Santo António, also known as the “Matchmaker Saint,” is celebrated with street parties, traditional Portuguese music, folk dancing, and even mass weddings (yes, casamentos de Santo António are a real thing!).
The biggest night of all happens on June 12, when Alfama, Bairro Alto, and Chiado – all just steps from Lost Inn Lisbon – are transformed into a maze of decorated alleys, live bands, food stalls, and smiling faces. Locals and travelers dance, toast, and sing late into the night.
Sardines, Sangria & Saintly vibes
The Santo António Festival wouldn’t be complete without grilled sardines on bread, basil pots with love poems, and, of course, a lot of Portuguese wine and sangria. It’s a once-in-a-year chance to truly live like a local and join Lisbon in a celebration of love, luck, and life.
