• 28 September, 22

There are three upcoming events from all over Portugal, just in case you were wondering what to get up to at the end of the month.

North

First on the list is the 20th edition of the wonderful Centre Jazz Festival which is set to take place between the 22nd of September and the 23rd of October in multiple venues in Coimbra. The venues include Casa das Artes Bissaya Barreto, Convento São Francisco, o Museu Nacional Machado de Castro, Salão Brazil and Teatro Académico de Gil Vicente.

Centre

An important event dedicated to the world of classical music is Sintra Festival which is organised by the Câmara Municipal de Sintra. Fantastic concerts and choral and piano recitals are set to take place in century old palaces and gardens between the 23rd of September until the 5th of October. This will be the 56th edition of the festival which is dedicated to “Ferdinand II’s romantic muse – music.” Also known as the Artist-King, “Ferdinand II had a very significant role in Portuguese music as he sponsored two of the most important nineteenth century composers and pianists, Bomtempo and Vianna da Mota.”

South

The heavily anticipated Oktoberfest at the Vila Vita Biergarten has made its return after a two-year break!

The popular beer festival inspired by the typical festivals from Munich but with an Algarve twist is running from the 28th of September until the 9th of October. The perfect event for family and friends with tons of fun to be had. You are not going to want to miss out on their delightful menu filled with Bavarian delicacies, which includes schnitzels, bretzl and the famed pork shank with sauerkraut or apfelstruedel.
