Festival de Gastronomia e Folclore

April 20, 2008

Clube Social Português

Pawtucket, Rhode Island

 

        The sights, sounds and aromas of traditional Portuguese cuisine and dance filled the “grande sala” of the Clube Social Português for the kick-off of the celebration of the 2008 Day of Portugal and Portuguese Heritage in Rhode Island.  Dining and socializing spilled into the outdoor spaces on a bright and beautiful spring afternoon where seven clubs and organizations offered their best dishes. Over 680 dishes were sold in the “concurso de gastronomia”, with the winners emerging as follows:

                  

                   1st Prize:             Clube Sport União Madeirense…………259 sold

                   2nd Prize:           Clube Juventude Lusitana.....................153 sold

                   3rd Prize:            Clube Social Português........................135 sold

                  

          Also competing were: União Portuguesa Beneficente,  Cranston Portuguese Club and the Sociedade Cultural Açoriana.  The ladies of the Coral Herança Portuguesa tempted the sweet tooth with traditional pastries and desserts.

 

          While patrons enjoyed the cuisine and company of friends, eight “Ranchos Folclóricos” from Rhode Island and as far away as Bridgeport, Ct. performed throughout the afternoon in a kaleidoscope of color, music and dance. The groups participating were:

 

                   Rancho de Santo António, Pawtucket

                   Danças e Cantares do Clube Juventude Lusitana, Cumberland

                   Rancho de Nossa Senhora de Fátima, Cumberland

                   Rancho do Alto Minho de Norwood, Ma.
