Freedom Festivities
Valongo Town Hall and Ermesinde Urban Park
From 25/04/2024 to 25/04/2024
The Municipality of Valongo will be marking the 25th of April with another edition of the Freedom Festivities. With a remarkable record in national history, the date recalls and celebrates the revolt of the Portuguese military who, on 25 April 1974, carried out a military coup d'état, putting an end to the dictatorial regime of the Estado Novo. Victorious, the revolutionaries succeeded in establishing a democratic regime and a new Portuguese constitution. This year's event aims to involve more local associations and the general public.
