Between 30 May and 15 June, the neighbourhood will be the epicentre of Lisbon’s most anticipated festivities of the year with a line-up full of great performers and a programme designed for people of all ages. As a distinctive feature of this year’s edition, the festival is reinforcing family-friendly spaces with the inclusion of activities, inflatables, and lots of entertainment during the event, making it the ideal way to celebrate the Popular Saints with the whole family in a safe and welcoming environment.
This year’s features of exciting artists includes Deixa Rolá, who will launch the festivities on 30 May; Tio Jel, bringing his infectious energy on May 31; Toy, set to dazzle the crowd in his signature style on June 4; and Sék Mintendes, who is sure to get everyone dancing on June 7.
In addition to these artists, the festival is introducing Junine festivities, a characteristic of Brazil, on 8 June. This day promises to bring unique celebrations, music, dancing, and entertainment with a special touch from Brazil’s culture.
Santo António’s big night on June 12 promises to be unforgettable. Tudo ao Molho, Paladin’s original band, kicks off the party, followed by the explosive duo Quimé and Rubim with P*ta da Loucura. Hot Crazy Boy brings his trademark energy, and Party Animals close the night in style with their legendary Crazy Hour.
A wide range of traditional foods and drinks will be present, and participants will be able to enjoy Portuguese cuisine and other fun surprises.
Admission is free.
