Exclusive area for Cascais card holders:
If you have a Viver Cascais card, enjoy the concerts from an exclusive area close to the stage. Pick up your wristband at the designated kiosk in Jardim Visconde Luz. Keep in mind, wristbands are limited to seating capacity, and each cardholder can collect two wristbands per concert day.
Transport and getting there:
Cascais Municipality recommends arriving by public transport. From Lisbon, the train might be your best bet. Local bus schedules are available online for Carris Metropolitana or MobiCascais. It’s just a 700-meter, incline-free walk from the train station or bus terminal to Cascais Bay, making it less than a ten-minute stroll. Alternatively, scooters and shared bikes are also an option.
Parking:
If driving, check out the map provided by the municipality for available parking spaces, totalling 3,211 spots. Traffic closures will also be in effect during the festival.
Also featuring the procession of Our Lady of Mariners:
A tradition since 1942 and now part of Cascais’ Intangible Cultural Heritage, this procession takes place on 1 September, starting at 15:00. The event includes a touching homage at sea to deceased fishermen, with prayers, flower offerings, and a symphony of boat horns.
