Red Waistcoat | Vila Franca de Xira

The most important festivities in Vila Franca de Xira pay a tribute to this land of bulls, horses and farmers, featuring livestock riding contests, a bull run in the streets and various concerts

Come and join in the festivities in the first weekend of July and enjoy the various concerts, popular dances and bull runs staged at various venues around the region.

On the 30th of June get ready for the 91st edition of Colete Encarnado, which is, since 2020, one of the “7 Wonders of Popular Culture”.

It's our most charismatic party that celebrates our identity bringing all the tradition that surrounds it, combined with a spectacular entertainment lineup.

On the 30th of June, 1st and 2nd of July, in addition to the tributes to Campino and Pampilho de Honra (posthumous tribute), the long-awaited bullfights take place in the streets of the City, the Corrida de Campinos, the night of grilled sardines, social gatherings and itinerant entertainment, in an intense programme.

The international Gipsy Kings by André Reyes, Fernando Correia Marques, Némanus, Jorge Fernando, DJ's and many other groups line up in this edition, which provides free public transport (within the Municipality) to the party.
