In the first edition of the Bairro Real Festival there was already the aim of this event becoming an annual tradition, which is now celebrated with the announcement of this second edition, which this year will be much bigger than just last year’s five days.
So, from September 20 to October 27, that is, for six consecutive weekends, the neighborhood of Príncipe Real will be full of life and movement with various activities for all families… totally free!
The idea behind the Bairro Real Festival remains the same: to showcase the richness of Príncipe Real and everything that surrounds it, from the businesses that are based here, the restaurants, the stores and, of course, what really moves the neighborhood, its residents.
Themed weekends and much more
This year, the organization of the Bairro Real Festival had to considerably increase the number of activities on offer to all visitors to the Príncipe Real neighbourhood.
The program will be vast, with a special focus on themed weekends (six), with nights full of parties, guided tours, debates, group outings, garage sales, dancing matinees and even a Bairro Social Congress, where, among other topics, the current state of this typical Lisbon neighborhood will be discussed.
One of the most memorable moments of the event will be at the end: a big community lunch that will bring neighbors and visitors together.
To Patrícia Luz, Coordinator of the Príncipe + Real Association,
We are increasingly looking for our comfort in the place where we live. We look for the “corners” of the neighborhood where we can feel good, we want to know what’s new and even opportunities to participate more actively in the community. Over these six weekends, we will reveal the secrets and delights of this neighborhood, while there will be many interesting topics to discuss and present. The whole city is invited to come!”
