Celebrate autumn at the Fundação de Serralves!
On September 27 and 28, families and visitors of all ages are invited to Serralves Park – especially the Quinta area – to enjoy the Festa de Outono, a vibrant program where tradition meets contemporaneity.
Workshops, nature walks, theatre and music performances, live art and many other activities will highlight biodiversity and the landscape, while reviving traditional crafts and knowledge.
This is a unique opportunity to connect with the Park’s remarkable natural and cultural heritage: from native breeds living in Serralves (and others especially present during the weekend), to the urban vegetable garden and seasonal produce, as well as practices that foster an environmentally and socially responsible culture.
In its 15th edition, the Festa de Outono once again takes a stand for the climate cause, featuring artistic installations and a film cycle in partnership with BOIL – Climate Festival, dedicated to promoting climate literacy through science, art, and humor.
Join us for a very special weekend – to share with family, friends and create lasting memories!
