FESTICANTE returns to Aljustrel for another edition of the event, which will take place between September 25 and 27. The festival aims to "celebrate the voice of a mining people," according to the organizers.
Aljustrel is a town known for its mining past, and FESTICANTE aims to highlight this cultural heritage. The event returns to the town for another weekend of celebrations.
In 2026, the event will reach another milestone when the centenary of the Grupo Coral dos Mineiros will be celebrated, which is considered living heritage. This choral group represents a cultural tradition linked to the mining activity of the region.
The return of FESTICANTE to Aljustrel is thus part of a continued effort to value the traditions and cultural identity associated with mining in the Baixo Alentejo region.
