Medieval Alvalade 2026

For three days—September 18, 19, and 20—the town of Alvalade “dresses up in full regalia” for what is one of the largest medieval fairs on the Iberian Peninsula. This event, likened to an authentic immersive history lesson, commemorates the granting of the Manueline Charter to this town in 1510.

This year’s festival is themed “From Illness to Healing.” A new theme every year.

A journey into the past is what the Alvalade Medieval initiative offers to all who visit the town, located in the municipality of Santiago do Cacém. The historical reenactment aims to mark the 516th anniversary of the granting of the Town Charter, which took place on September 20, 1510, by King Manuel I.
