Last year, about three thousand people experienced the atmosphere of Elétrico Porto Music. Over 40% of visitors were of foreign nationality.

This event is targeted at families, as children and youth are most welcome to the festival.

The event focuses on the close contact with nature with open air activities, and as last year, the programme includes yoga and meditation classes, an art fair, installations, a billboard exhibit, and a children oriented lounge.

"The "Elétrico" was a winning bet in 2018, because it has met our goals. Not only it has helped reveal and boost this magnificent Park, but it has also knocked down geographic barriers within the city", affirmed Catarina Araújo, Councillor for Youth and Sports of Porto City Hall, on occasion of the presentation of the Festival 2019, which will once again be supported by the Municipality via PortoLazer.
