Community members gathered in Lovelock Sunday, April 19, to celebrate the 90th annual Portuguese Festa, continuing a long-standing tradition that honors faith, heritage and community. The event, organized by Darlene Moura and the I.D.E.S. Society, began with a traditional procession at 10 a.m. from the Catholic Hall, traveling around the courthouse islands before returning to St. John the Baptist Catholic Church for Mass at 10:30 a.m.
Children participating in the procession wore costumes honoring the legend of Saint Isabella, a central figure in the Festa tradition. Following the Mass, the celebration continued with the customary sopas meal at the community center and an afternoon auction, reflecting the strong tradition that has remained part of the Portuguese Festa in Lovelock for generations.
