Feria Agostina Puerto Cortes in Puerto Cortes
Puerto Cortés's month-long August fair in honor of the Virgin of Santa María de Asunción, the city's patron saint, combining a horseback parade, float parade, concerts and fireworks over the Laguna de Alvarado with the Noche Veneciana, a nationally recognized closing celebration on the municipal beach.
Puerto Cortés spends most of August given over to its Feria Agostina, a homage to the Virgin of Santa María de Asunción, patroness of the port city's residents, known locally as porteños.
