The Book Festival is back!
On June 26, 27, and 28, the 5th edition of the Book Festival will take place, inspired this year by the theme “Ode to Nature.”
A celebration of literature, culture, and our connection to nature, organized by the Caixa Agrícola Costa Azul Foundation, in partnership with the Santiago do Cacém City Council, and with the invaluable support of dozens of local organizations that have come together to make this event even more special.
Over the course of three days, the public can enjoy a diverse program for all ages:
