Food Festival is back in town in July in the City Park

The festival that celebrates food is back in town on 7 and 8 June, at the City Park. This event kicks off the "summer is in Porto" programme and it is sponsored by Continente.
 Save the date in your agenda and invite family and friends as entrance is free. 

The programme includes leisure activities for all ages, organised around the topic of food and the new nutrition patterns and trends, as the concept of healthy food, for instance.

Throughout the two-day gathering, partygoers will have the chance to taste and enjoy wine, olive oil, cheese, sausages and Portuguese traditional food prepared by chefs Hélio Loureiro, Manuel Almeida, Justa Nobre, Rui Paula, Chakall and Anna Lins, just to name a few.

Music shows are a must at this event, as usual, and this year is no exception with popular artists and Portuguese Bands. This year's line-up features Tony Carreira, Diogo Piçarra, David Carreira, Xutos & Pontapés, HMB and Mundo de Sara.

There will also be a specific spot for children with traditional games - trampolines, acro-bungee, tree-climbing and a football village with 10 football pitches and lots of entertainment sponsored by the Portuguese Football Federation.
