Step into a world of color and creativity at the Festas do Povo, where the streets of Campo Maior are transformed into a living work of art. The town comes to life with millions of handmade paper flowers decorating every corner, creating a striking display of craftsmanship and community spirit.
Recognized by UNESCO, the festival is more than a visual spectacle. It reflects the pride, passion and traditions of the local community. For months, residents work together to create intricate paper flowers, street by street and theme by theme, until the entire town is covered in vibrant color.
Festas do Povo is a unique, community-driven event that only takes place when the whole town comes together. Usually held in August, it turns Campo Maior into a place of celebration, joy and unity, drawing thousands of visitors to Portugal’s Alentejo region.
