1. The exposition “75 dias na Ucrânia” by João Porfírio (16th July- 16th August)
This show is much more than just a display of photographs. The goal of the exhibition, according to the author, is to bring each visitor as closely as possible to the reality that exists in Ukraine now as a result of Russia’s invasion of its borders.
In order to do this, the author came up with a number of immersive installations. For example, at the entrance to the exhibition, visitors must travel through a tunnel built of sandbags that is reminiscent of the ones used in Ukraine to protect trenches. The esteemed maestro Martim Sousa Tavares, founder and conductor of the orchestra Sem Fronteiras, who will be present at the inauguration with six of its players, will choose the songs for this playlist.

After a two-year hiatus, the Festival is back with the promise of a large crowd, with the goals of encouraging the festival and coexistence, diversity and cultural exchange, and associational dynamism as well as the enjoyment and transmission of traditional arts and cultures.

5. The Sardinha Festival (3rd-7th August)
The Sardinha Festival is regarded as one of Portimo’s major celebrations and one of the Algarve’s biggest food festivals.
Sardines are one of the best appetizers in the Algarve, and it only takes a short while from the time that they are caught to the time that they are cooked over embers. Sardine in Portimo is frequently served with boiled potatoes and an Algarve salad, and it is also accompanied by good music played on two stages that cater to all musical tastes.
The Bandstand shows how listening to the most popular music is a great approach to stimulate your interest in the much-desired sardines. There is nothing better than watching the concerts on the main stage as the salad is dipped in bread for everyone who spent the day at one of Portimo’s beaches and arrives at the Festival a bit later.
