On the night of 23 December 2025, São Silvestre Famalicão transforms the illuminated streets of Vila Nova de Famalicão into one of the most festive end-of-year runs in the Minho region. Runners can tackle a 10 km corrida while families and walkers join a 4 km mini/caminhada, both starting at 21:30 in front of the town hall and looping around the main avenues and central streets. The course is run entirely on asphalted urban roads, generally flat to gently rolling, with Christmas decorations, music, light shows and sometimes fireworks creating a party atmosphere from start to finish. Regularly cited as one of Portugal’s biggest São Silvestre events, it attracts thousands of participants looking to close out the year with a lively, night-time run or walk.
