16.06.2022- The offers are countless and bring the return of fado, jazz, opera, indie, folk, funky, soul, reggae, electronic and rock to festivals in Portugal. And it's not just music festivals, film festivals will happen too!  

Festival, a word so similar in many languages, designates in all of them a big party and adjectives a celebratory atmosphere; in Portugal we would add that they have a very characteristic contagious atmosphere! Whether motivated by the end of social isolation, by change of routine to scenarios that easily surprise, or by feelings of happiness and conviviality - it will be good to be able to create memories again!
