The Festas Nicolinas are the students’ festivals in Guimarães, held in honour of São Nicolau de Mira.

The first reference to the Festas de Nicolina dates back to 1664, the year in which the Chapel of São Nicolau was built in Guimarães.

They usually start on November 29 and end on December 7.

During these days, students have various “activities” that are part of the structure of the Festival.
