Annual Events in Lisbon

Lisbon, the enchanting capital of Portugal, hosts unique and vibrant events throughout the year. In June, the city comes alive during the Festas de Lisboa (all of June), with the highlight being the Feast of Saint Anthony (June 12-13), when the streets are filled with music, dancing, and the aroma of grilled sardines.

In February, the colorful Carnival brings parades and costumes to the streets, while in April, the Lisbon Fish and Flavours Festival celebrates the best of Portuguese seafood. Summer heats up with the NOS Alive Festival (July), one of Europe’s top music festivals. The year ends magically with Christmas Markets and a spectacular New Year’s Eve celebration (December 31) featuring fireworks by the Tagus River. Lisbon offers a year-round mix of culture, tradition, and festive joy!
