Come join the party!
These popular celebrations take place in the historical quarters of Lisboa. On the night of 12 June (St Antonio) a long parade is organised along the Liberdade Av.; while Alfama streets are crowded with people dancing, listening fado; drinking and eating grilled sardines.
The historic districts, as well as the capital’s avenues and streets will all welcome the Lisboa Festivities for all those who live here and those who visit.
