Lisbon hosts Madeira Festival

RTP Notícias12 September 2026 at 14:30

The Madeira Festival returned to Lisbon to celebrate tradition and cultural identity. The event brought typical cultural manifestations from the autonomous region of Madeira to the Portuguese capital.

This year's edition of the festival has special significance. The 50 years of regional autonomies are being commemorated, a milestone that reinforces the importance of the event for the preservation and promotion of Madeiran culture.

The festival offers Lisboetas and visitors the opportunity to learn more about the traditions, customs and unique identity of Madeira, strengthening the cultural ties between the autonomous region and the mainland.

Why this matters

Readers in mainland Portugal, especially in the Lisbon region, now have the opportunity to experience the culture and traditions of Madeira at a festive event that gains greater relevance due to the anniversary of regional autonomies. The festival also allows the Madeiran community in the capital to celebrate their cultural identity.

Boto Marinho bloc parades in Paquetá this Saturday despite controversy with residents

The Boto Marinho bloc paraded this Saturday (12) on Paquetá Island, in Rio de Janeiro, despite controversy with residents who requested the cancellation of the event from the Public Ministry of the State of Rio. The procession began around 9am, amid discussions about the holding of the event and the lack of authorization pointed out by public agencies. During the event, the bloc paid tribute to Dona Florise, considered the "muse of the bloc," who passed away in 2024, ten days before turning 100, who used to accompany the event from the balcony of her house and received annually a tribute with the performance of "Carinhoso" in front of her residence.
