What it is

In the evenings there are concerts with big Portuguese and international names; in 2026 the line-up included Xutos & Pontapés, UHF, Rui Veloso and UB40. On Sunday, the bike parade through Faro is a spectacle in itself.

The first night usually has a cheaper ticket aimed at local residents.

Tips for your visit

  • If you’re not riding, watch Sunday’s parade along the avenues near Faro’s downtown.
  • Expect traffic and noise around the airport and Praia de Faro during those days.
  • Accommodation in Faro and Olhão sells out quickly that week.
