🎓✨ Porto is once again celebrating the tradition of Queima das Fitas!
“Queima das Fitas” is one of Portugal’s most iconic academic traditions and marks the end of an important chapter in the lives of thousands of students. Every year in May, the city of Porto transforms into a vibrant celebration filled with colors, music, emotions, and academic pride.
The name translates to “Burning of the Ribbons” — a symbolic farewell to university life for graduating students. Throughout the week, the city comes alive with traditional serenades, the famous academic parade (Cortejo Académico), concerts, and unforgettable moments of unity and celebration. 🎶🎉
As a company connected to Portugal and Porto, we at CanDo are proud to be part of a region that combines tradition, young talent, and innovation. Queima das Fitas represents values that are also important to us: teamwork, growth, and celebrating achievements together. 💙
Parabéns to all graduates! 👏
