Aveiro Portuguese Capital of Culture 2024
Aveiro is Portugal's capital of culture in 2024. A considerable number of cultural events will happen throughout all duration of the conference. You may check the schedule on the website https://aveiro2024.pt/en/programa/ that is constantly being updated.
From July 17 to 21 - Festival dos Canais (Channel’s Festival)
The Festival dos Canais July 17 to 21 is a multidisciplinary meeting of the arts in a public space that takes the city of Aveiro as an open stage, where artists from different geographies interconnect with the daily life and life of the territory to present their creations. On several stages, distributed throughout the city, shows from various artistic areas, including street theater, new circus, dance, music, performance and other expressions. It is a living laboratory for presenting new perspectives on the collective memory of this region and its identity traits, while at the same time revealing the current state of contemporary artistic creation.
We are welcome to join those activities and enjoy Aveiro.
