Summer is at the door and the Municipality of Olhão has once again prepared an intense calendar of activities for all audiences, which take place in June, July and August, thinking of Olhanenses and tourists visiting the Cubist city during the holiday period. Between consolidated events and news, many will be the reasons to take to the streets. On June 1st and 2nd, the Environmental Education Center of Marim, in the heart of the Ria Formosa Natural Park, will be hosting the 2nd edition of Ecofest, an event that celebrates the environmental, cultural and musical heritage, promoting various initiatives for all tastes and public, in contact with nature.

From 4 to 7 June, the Child and Environment Week is back in Olhão's Pescador Garden, this year under the theme "Knowing the Past to Preserve the Future", which brings together more than three thousand children from public and private county The Festivities of the City of Olhão, which this year have their high point with the concert of Mariza on the night of June 16, in Jardim Pescador Olhanense, start a few days before. The celebrations begin on June 12, with the historical recreation "The Day in which Olhão faced Napoleon", which for two days, will pass through all the parishes.

On July 6, another Ria Formosa Folklore Festival takes place. From 13 to 20 July, the book and reading festival returns to Jardim Patrão Joaquim Lopes, with the 3rd edition of FLO - Olhão Book Fair. Every summer, Olhão hosts the Pirate Festival. The 5th edition runs from August 1 to 4, involving the riverside area in the daily pirate, populated by period characters, who occupy a special place in the public imagination. The Municipality returns to bet on a differentiated event, with moments of animation, historical recreation, performing arts, rábulas, histories and circus arts. The highlight of the summer is the Olhão Seafood Festival. The 2019 edition of the largest gastronomic event in the south of the country runs from August 9 to 14, with the musical animation by Matias Damásio ft. Aurea (9), HMB (10), the tribute band to Queen Killer Queen (11), Paula Fernandes (12), Ludmilla (13) and Resistance (14).

The summer animation program culminates with the Levant Nights which, from 28 to 31 August, take place in various areas of the municipality, such as the Fuseta Waterfront and the most emblematic areas of the Cubist city. During the three days of the event, the public is surprised with moments of great animation, with street arts, music, theater and dance, which pass through Avenida da República, Rua do Comércio, neighborhoods of Barreta and Levante, Avenida 5 de Outubro , and ended up next to the Markets. source:http://www.cm-olhao.pt/destaques2/2685-olhao-nao-para-e-prepara-verao-repleto-de-eventos-de-animacao
