What to do this weekend? Start the engines, grab the oars and paint the blanket

Público4 September 2026 at 15:33

The article presents suggestions for the weekend, highlighting three cultural and entertainment events taking place in Portugal. The Caramulo Motorfestival brings the motors aspect, promising excitement for vehicle enthusiasts. The Óbidos Opera Festival offers programming dedicated to this musical genre, held in the historic town. The Contextile biennial presents itself as a textile art event.

In musical terms, the article refers to the performances of The Weeknd and Jessica Moss, indicating that concerts by these artists are on the upcoming events calendar. "Barquinhos" (little boats) are also mentioned, although without much elaboration on this point.

The article's title uses wordplay with the three main suggestions: "start the engines" (referring to the car festival), "grab the oars" (suggesting nautical activity or the little boats) and "paint the blanket" (possibly an allusion to the textile art of the Contextile biennial). The article thus serves as a guide to activities for the Portuguese public during the weekend.
