Supporting the local community
Festa de Sant'Ana - Festival of St. Ana
In addition to being a leader in coffee production, the Fazenda Santana is the host to one of the oldest and most traditional festivals in the region, the Festa de Sant’Ana. For over 100 years, a celebration has been held in late July in honor of the farm’s namesake, St. Ana.
Locals and tourists convene on the farm for a celebration that begins with an early morning religious mass at the chapel and continues through the day with a religious procession, cavalry that makes the pilgrimage from miles away to the festival site , and auctions, games, food stalls, and a live music concert.
