The Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival From its modest beginnings to its current status as a must-attend event on the European cinema scene, the Lisbon & Estoril Film Festival (LEFFEST) has become a major landmark in the Portuguese cultural landscape.

With my comfy sneakers, notebook, and phone in hand, I’m taking you on a tour of Portugal’s must-see summer music events !

It’s a slice of the country, a piece of political history, a celebration of popular culture, a family gathering, a political meeting, a giant fair… all wrapped into three intense days. And yes, there’s music. A lot of it!
