August is coming to an end, but the events in the municipality of Figueira da Foz aren’t slowing down
There’s nothing better than ending the month with a Festival dedicated to one of the region’s gastronomic ex-libris: the Quiaios chorizo.
“Whole or sliced? Whatever!“The important thing is to go to Quiaios on the 25th, 26th and 27th and enjoy an event that “brings with it tradition, gastronomy and lots of entertainment“.
According to the organizers, the program is based above all on promoting the traditional chorizo from Quiaios, but it also has a strong recreational and festive component and this year’s headliner is Herman José. It also includes “children’s and traveling entertainment and offers a free babysitting service so that parents and children can have a great time!”.
The Chouriço Festival is organized by the Quiaios Parish Council, with the support of the Figueira da Foz Municipality.
The most emblematic and iconic basketball court in the country is hosting another edition – the 5th – of the Traseiras Tournament in Figueira da Foz this weekend (at the back of Rua Dr. Luis Carriço and Rua Dr. Nogueira de Carvalho).
