The MEO Kalorama festival starts today, in an edition that promises to mark the music season in Lisbon. The event takes place at Parque da Bela Vista, one of the most emblematic venues in the Portuguese capital for large cultural events.

Before the official opening of doors, the SAPO team went to the location to learn about the facilities and anticipate what awaits the thousands of spectators who usually attend this festival. The visit allowed us to understand the state of preparation of the venue to host the 2026 edition.

The article includes a video of the visit to Parque da Bela Vista, showing the spaces that will host the festival's concerts and activities. This preview comes as a usual media tradition of covering the preparation of major music events in Portugal.
