Algarve Events

The Algarve's festival calendar runs mainly through the warmer months. Silves hosts a medieval festival each summer, recreating the town's Moorish and Reconquista-era history around its castle. The region's numerous golf courses host international tournaments through the cooler months, drawing golfers from across Europe.

Coastal towns hold summer festivals celebrating local seafood and traditional music, and Tavira's Mediterranean Diet recognition brings food-focused events celebrating the region's culinary heritage. Confirm exact dates with each event's local tourism office before travelling, as most shift year to year.
