Celebrating the revolution in Cascais
Cascais has joined the list of municipalities that have developed initiatives to celebrate the 50th anniversary of a historic Portuguese date - April 25th. The celebrations have already begun and will continue until October, always with the theme of memory and the future, exalting peace, freedom, progress and democracy.
The program will highlight Cascais personalities and locals who were part of the struggle against the dictatorship, combining music, exhibitions, conferences, guided tours and theater performances.
Although the town has been the scene of other important moments of resistance, it was the two conspiratorial meetings of the Captains' Movements in Cascais (on November 24, 1973, and March 5, 1975) that were decisive for the Carnation Revolution. To celebrate the occasion, last March - thus kicking off the celebrations - two pieces were inaugurated (which recall the shape of carnations), authored by Catherine da Silva, as part of the Girandolas de Luz initiative. But there is much more to see and do this month in Cascais in celebration of the revolution.
