Out of doors

While a part of what will be the future of Praça da Liberdade is built, the city exposes itself as the usual Porto:” alive, vibrant and unforgettable”.

One of the main moments of the second half of the 2021/22 programming of Teatro Municipal do Porto is the celebration, in January, of the 90th anniversary of Rivoli. Between April and May, the cities of Porto, Vila Nova de Gaia and Matosinhos host, once again, the DDD –Festival Dias de Dança.

It’s the first time that a Portuguese art institution is distinguished in the yearly ranking of one of the most important and influent contemporary art international magazines.

The Municipality’s priority is to guarantee that the Christmas season is safe in the city and, at the same time, to contribute so that economic activity remains strong.

On December 1st Porto starts celebrating the most beautiful time of the year, with the switching on of the city lights and the big Christmas Tree that is back to Praça do General Humberto Delgado. This day also includes a free concert at the Super Bock Arena – Pavilhão Rosa Mota, with Bárbara Tinoco and several guests.

The Exhibition with hundreds of drawings that integrates the 23rd edition of PortoCartoon opens Friday.

Preparations are almost complet, and from Saturday onwards the stands at the Christmas Market in Porto will be open to receive visitors.

From December 10th to January 2nd the Porto downtown concert hall hosts one of the greatest traditions of this holiday season.

This year, the Christmas season will resume its colour and magic on Avenida dos Aliados, where a magnificent Christmas tree, as befitting the city, will again be assembled.

There are 52 nationalities represented among those enrolled in the main event of the Porto marathon program. It’s “a sign of trust”, underscored the organisation.
