In May, Monchique will once again host “Vamos à Vila,” an event that, in its 2026 edition, will take place on the 29th, 30th, and 31st. In addition to the traditional fair, one of the concerts set to liven up the town’s streets is that of singer-songwriter Tiago Bettencourt.

Today we're asking you to bring out your memory file. If we tell you about roasted chestnuts, filhoses, cotton candy or popcorn, your emotional archive will automatically recall the traditional annual fairs. To mark the Monchique Annual Fair, Monchique Town Hall has prepared an event to mark the occasion. Don't miss a small re-enactment of this fair on October 26, next to the Sunday market. We'll bring you chestnuts, filhoses, popcorn, various food and drink and musical entertainment, because there are dates that deserve to be celebrated, and this is one of them. This year, there's something new: the Soup Festival, organized by the Portuguese Guides Association - 1st Monchique Company.
