Festivals & Events in Porto

The Festa de São João do Porto — free and open to all — turns the night of 23–24 June into Portugal's most intense street party. At midnight, fireworks burst over the Douro (16 minutes in 2025) while the entire city takes to the streets with plastic hammers, sardines, and basil.

Super Bock Super Rock is a paid festival born in July 1995 and one of Portugal's longest-running. From 2010 it was held every July near Praia do Meco (Sesimbra). After 30 years, in 2026 it reinvents itself as a series of standalone concerts. Check dates and tickets on the official website.
