FOLKFARO
FOLKFARO takes place in Faro and surrounding area, in the second half of August. Faro is the capital of Algarve - the beautiful sunny region of southern Portugal, renown world-wide for its pleasant climate and beaches of golden sand. The event looks to promote and share the folklore and traditions of different nations to strengthen the friendship and the identity of each country. It includes a large variety of activities: gala show in theatre, open-air performances, international parades, children and elderly programs, dance workshops, etc. Since the Congress of November 2005, FOLKFARO is certified as CIOFF® Festival and it is member of the Portuguese National Section.
