The second edition of the Festival Raízes Vivas takes place on September 25 and 26, at the Portas do Sol space, in Santarém. The event celebrates the cultural identity of the Ribatejo region, bringing together various traditional and contemporary expressions in a programme that seeks to showcase different dimensions of this Portuguese region.
The festival integrates several thematic areas, including gastronomy, agriculture, crafts, music and traditional practices. These activities are complemented by debates on sustainability, reflecting a concern with the future of the Ribatejo territory and its traditions.
The programme was designed to appeal to both the local population and visitors, offering a complete experience that combines cultural, gastronomic and reflective elements. The choice of Portas do Sol as the location reinforces the connection between the event and Santarém's heritage.
