52nd Festival Estoril Lisboa
The Estoril Lisbon Festival returns to Cascais in 2026. This year, the festival celebrates Heritage with a three-day programme taking place across several cultural venues in the municipality: the Centro Cultural de Cascais, Casa Reynaldo dos Santos, and the Carlos Avilez Auditorium at the Estoril Academy of Arts.
"Music is a timeless force that transforms us and connects us to our identity. In 2026, as we celebrate 50 years of artistic creation in communion with some of Portugal’s most emblematic historical monuments, we embark on a new chapter under the theme of celebrating heritage. On this historic milestone, we honour our collective memory and pay special tribute to the 700th anniversary of the death of King Dinis. We remember the ‘almost perfect king’ and embrace his legacy by celebrating his enduring commitment to culture and the land." — Board of the International Music Association of the Estoril Coast (AIMCE).
