About Kola San Jon
Kola San Jon (also spelled Cola San Jon or Cola San Djon) is a celebration of Cabo Verdean background. Versions of the festival have been held on the various islands of Cabo Verde, including Santo Antão, São Vicente, and São Nicolau, as well as in countries with large Cabo Verdean communities, such as Portugal. The most notable of those held outside of Cabo Verde are the Kola San Jon celebrations held in the Cova da Moura neighbourhood of Amadora, Portugal.
