Out of doors

The 5th edition of Porto Blues Fest will take place on the 29th and 30th of July in the gardens of Palácio de Cristal, with a poster featuring national and foreign names and an environmental awareness campaign, to be held for the first time.

From September 23rd to 25th, the Historic Centre of Porto celebrates culture and heritage with MIMO, a festival of Brazilian origin, democratic, diverse, multi-gender, egalitarian and multi-territorial.

The six blue characters of the “Porto.” brand are back at the top of Avenida dos Aliados, as well as the irresistible attractive effect they produce on those who visit the city. Nobody goes through there without taking a picture of the letters.

To mark the Santiago Day, which is celebrated on July 25th , Porto city Hall will promote a set of initiatives that highlight the historical and cultural importance of the Camino de Santiago that crosses the city.

During the month of July, Clube de Vela Atlântico promotes the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation voyage around the planet, led by Fernão de Magalhães, with a number of initiatives, bringing together the three municipalities of the Atlantic Front: Porto, Matosinhos and Vila Nova de Gaia .

The “Vizinhanças” program proposes a trip through seven different places in Porto, during seven weekends.

Until October 16, is possible to climb to the top of Torre dos Clérigos at night and admire, in an almost 360 degrees view, the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia and the river that joins them.

The artistic installation “The Square”, which concept was created by the architect Nuno Pimentel, will be on display until 17 September.

The event promises to involve visitors in an experience around new food trends, with lots of music in the mix.

Until next Thursday, the organization expects the participation of more than three thousand people and more than 140 brands, present at Exponor, in Matosinhos.
