The Alentejo Heritage Festival holds its fourth edition in Cabrela, a town in the municipality of Montemor-o-Novo, between September 25 and 27. The event brings three days of cultural programming to the Alentejo region, combining diverse artistic expressions.

Brazil is the guest country of this edition of the festival, bringing a strong presence of Brazilian culture to the event. The programming brings together musical genres such as samba, fado, and choro, as well as cante alentejano, dance, and contemporary art.

The festival thus promotes a crossover between Portuguese and Brazilian cultural traditions, creating a dialogue between different artistic expressions. The initiative seeks to celebrate and preserve the cultural heritage of the Alentejo region.

"The Feiras Novas are a meeting point"

José Pedro Ribeiro Pereira, a 22-year-old young man from Fontão, won the contest to create the image for the Feiras Novas, a traditional pilgrimage in the Minho region. His proposal placed the woman of the Feiras Novas as the central figure, surrounded by a family sequence with the grandfather, the son, and the grandson, representing what, for José Pedro, distinguishes the pilgrimage: the people who come together. The young man, who has been drawing since childhood, did not expect the amount of positive reactions his work received, considering that this victory represents a step towards what he has wanted to do since he was little.
