Hi everyone!
Have you heard of San Pedro? Countries across the globe including Spain, Peru, Brazil and many others celebrate San Pedro or Saint Peter, the patron saint of fishermen, every year on June 29. The day is typically filled with maritime processions, attending mass, dancing, competitions, lots of food, and other festivities. If you celebrate San Pedro in your fishing community, we would love to learn about your traditions!
The SSF Hub is launching a photography contest with San Pedro Day as the theme! We invite fishing community members and others to share photos of how you celebrate San Pedro on the Hub. Details on how to enter below! If you’re not interested in entering the contest, you can still participate by helping to decide the winner, keep reading!
This discussion will be where you can enter the contest by commenting your entry at the bottom of this page.
