Feast of Our Lady of Health – Ribeira da Tábua

Every year, the small chapel of Ribeira da Tábua comes alive for the Feast of Our Lady of Health — two days of faith, music and community tradition on Madeira. The festival blends religious rituals with folk music and local gastronomy, set against the chapel's flower-lined square.

A tea house will be open throughout the festa to support the celebrations — visitors are welcome to stop by.
