We are delighted to announce that Festival de Setembro 2025 – Immigration, Encounters, Creation, which took place in the medieval quarter of the city – Vila Medieval de Ourém – in September 2025, has been nominated for the Iberian Festival Awards 2026. This prestigious distinction, awarded to the best festivals in Portugal and Spain, marks an important moment both for the event’s organizers and for the city of Ourém itself.

High summer. And if it's summer, there are outdoor events. Summer festivals have become a must-see during every vacation. The emotions after the festival in Portugal have not yet subsided, and we are already inviting you to another unique event. The Frytka Off festival will take place on July 27 in Częstochowa.

The second edition of the Shrines of Europe festival, which took place from June 19 to 23 in Ourem in Portugal, is already behind us. These few days were a real celebration of music, singing and dancing and the traditions of the Shrines of Europe, as well as a time of many wonderful conversations and discussions. See our report from this unique event.

Feirourém is an outdoor event held every year in Ourem. What distinguishes it from other events of its type is the fact that it brings together top artists, the best craftsmen, restaurateurs and exhibitors from Portugal and other countries in one place. This year Shrines of Europe will have the opportunity to be part of this wonderful unique summer festival.

Altötting is preparing something really special for all fans of good fun, both older and younger! The traditional Hofdult festival will start there on May 24. Concerts, performances, an amusement park and feasting over a typical Bavarian golden beverage are the must-sees of this popular festival, which has been held here for over 625 years and always attracts crowds of people who come to Altötting in search of... good fun!

Is it possible to explore all 7 Shrines of Europe cities in one weekend? The distances on the map say: Nope… Not unless you have seven-league boots. But that's only in fairy tales...
