Included in the itinerary of greatest “World Music” festivals in Europe, the MED Festival takes place in the Historical Centre of Loulé. Along with the musical alignment that brings to Portugal the best music references in the world, this festival also combines gastronomy, plastic arts, street entertainment, handicraft, dancing, workshops, and much more, with the clear objective of promoting the various cultures from around the world.

MED was born in 2004, under the program "Loulé, Host City" of Euro 2004 in an attempt to create a festival with "different and unique music" that promoted the Municipality, providing a different and quality tourist offer to revitalize the historic city.

In this day, São Brás de Alportel will travel back in time, rewinding over a century and recreating the ambience of the city in those days.

The Historical Centre will be transformed into a merry-go-round of entertainment and surprising happenings: street theatre, music, dancing, circus, handicrafts, delicacies and characters from a bygone era await you.

Dress up and participate in the journey back in time!

A journey back in time...

Evoking the establishment of the Republic, the granting of the status of a municipality to São Brás de Alportel and a century of progress and community are the main reason of the 3rd Historical Recreation staging.

The beginning of the century witnessed a time of euphoria, with business opportunities arising at every turn. Cork traders, artists, intellectuals, beggars, acrobats and conjurers made their way to São Brás de Alportel, known in those days as a land of opportunity. There were also times of despondency and decline.  Today, we have all of this. Let's relive that magical time!
