Entrudanças Festival 2026

Another "Entrudanças" is coming!

Entradas will once again be filled with dance, music, encounters, and artistic creation. For three days, the Festival transforms the village of Entradas into a living stage where artists, community, and audience meet, share, and celebrate.

Promoted by the PédeXumbo Association, Castro Verde City Council, and the Entradas Parish Council, this is a festival that combines tradition and modernity, with its feet firmly planted in the territory and its eyes open to the world.
