The Youth Festival of São Torcato will be renamed Youth Festival of Guimarães starting in 2027, keeping the village of São Torcato as the venue for the initiative. The announcement was made by the mayor of Guimarães, Ricardo Araújo.
The name change will take place in the year the festival celebrates its 20th anniversary, thus marking a new stage in the event's history.
The goal of this change is to give a municipal dimension to an initiative that was born in a parish, elevating the festival to an event of municipal scope.
The decision to rename the festival comes within the framework of a strategy to reinforce the identity and scope of the event, making it more representative of the entire municipality of Guimarães.
