A secular festival with which Playa Honda — and much of the island with it — sees off the summer in late September. Its family-friendly programme features concerts and open-air dances, foam parties, giant inflatable water games, drumming batucadas and street parades, sports tournaments and children's activities. Making the most of its coastline, highlights include the Wind Festival and a closing fireworks display, all in a warm, community-focused atmosphere.
