The Portuguese Settlement (Saint John's Village; Portuguese: Aldeia de São João; Malay: Kampung St. John, Kampung Portugis) is a settlement area of Ujong Pasir in Malacca City, Melaka Tengah District, Malacca, Malaysia, which serves as a home for the Kristang people.
In 1933, 11 hectares of land at Malacca were purchased with the purpose of creating a haven for the scattered Kristang people.
The swampy land was cleared and 10 wooden houses with earth floors and attap roofs were built.
At the festival one can hear Kristang folk songs and watch dancers in colourful costumes perform to the rhythm of branyu music.
An important event in the festival is the blessing of the local fishermen's boats, specially decorated for the occasion, to assure good catch.
