What is the biggest festival in Ponta Delgada and when is it held?

I checked with my friends from Quinta das Acacias to be sure. Here's the answer:

Festa do Senhor Santo Cristo dos Milagres in Ponta Delgada is the largest religious festivity in the Azores. In 2011 it is from May 26 to June 2. The dates and events can be viewed in Portuguese at: www.santo-cristo.com
