In July, you can enjoy high-quality performances at the Festival ao Largo at the Belém Cultural Center. The "Festival ao Largo" brings high art to the public, offering free performances including symphonies, ballets, and dramas. Many renowned arts groups will participate, such as the Orchestra de Portugal, the São Carlos National Theatre Choir, the National Ballet, and the Maria II National Theatre.

The new Belém Traditional Book Festival will be held from September 17th to 20th. This initiative, decided by the President of the Republic, transforms Belém Palace into a stage for celebrating books, reading, and exchange among Portuguese-language literature readers and writers. As always, the event includes panel discussions, live interviews, new book launches, concerts, and open-air cinemas, while retaining activity areas for children and teenagers, as well as outdoor seating and restaurants. The book festival returns to the Belém Palace gardens and, as always, is organized in partnership with the Portuguese Association of Publishers and Booksellers (APEL).
