The Nicolinas (Portuguese: Festas Nicolinas) are a series of festivities to honor Saint Nicholas that occur in the Portuguese city of Guimarães. Held between November 29th and December 7th,[1] they celebrate the old traditions and camaraderie of the inhabitants of Guimarães, predominantly among its students.[2] The first known literary reference to the Nicolinas dates from 1664, the year after the construction[3] of the Chapel of St. Nicholas in Guimarães,[4] although historical evidence suggests that the festivities predate this time.[5]
The Nicolinas consist of eight main festivities, the Pinheiro, the Novenas, the Danças de São Nicolau, the Posses e Magusto, the Pregão, the Maçãzinhas, the Baile da Saudade and the Roubalheiras.[6] They are organized by the Nicolinas Festivities Committee, a group of male students, originally all from the Guimarães High School.[7][8] The people who actively participate in the festivities are called Nicolinos.[9]
