Until September 22, Jardim Teófilo Braga, better known as Jardim da Parada, will once again host a festival full of family activities for all the residents of the Campo de Ourique neighborhood. But not only that, because all Lisboners and visitors are also invited.
Promoted by the Campo de Ourique Parish Council, in partnership with the Lisbon City Council, the second edition is being held following the success of the experience on the “superquarteirões” in Lisbon, now giving way to an annual event with the name “There’s more neighborhood in the garden!”
9 days with traffic restrictions
We remember that this “experiment” took place in order to reduce traffic in Lisbon’s neighborhoods, offering more space to the inhabitants of these neighborhoods, as well as to their visitors.
Creating a series of activities for the whole family, over a certain period of time, proved to be a success and now the second edition of this event is taking place, which will have everything it takes to grow even more in the coming years.
During the time that this festival takes place, the entire area surrounding Jardim da Parada will be free of traffic and therefore quieter and with more space accessible to the public.
Car traffic will be altered and the 774 Carris bus will undergo the following change.
The entertainment program
The Campo de Ourique district is going to be a real entertainment and leisure area for all families, safer and with space for everyone.
For this reason, a range of activities has also been created to allow everyone to experience what the future could be like if this idea and project is realized full-time.
From workshops on composting and vegetable gardening to Zumba and taekwondo classes, as well as music concerts and activities for the little ones with inflatables and games, everything is going to happen next to Jardim da Parada.
