The July calendar at the Cidadela Art District kicks off on the 5th with the KAU BBQ Fest – an American-style barbecue with live music and plenty of smoke (trust us, that delicious smell in the air will be impossible to resist). Also on the 5th, little ones (and grown-ups too) can get creative with “Brincar na Tela”, an interactive painting workshop hosted by Saltão Gallery from 2pm to 5pm. The ARTBEAT Week running until the 6th, brings urban art to the space – and don’t worry if you miss it, it returns later in the month from 31 July to 3 August.
Mid-month brings even more action: the Garrafeira Nacional’s Gin Sessions on 11 and 12 July (from 5pm to 8pm), and the opening of Júlio Dolbeth’s illustration exhibition This Must Be the Place on the 12th at 6pm.
Then, on 25 July, it’s time to mix wine, petiscos and art at Vinh’Art in the Taberna da Praça at 7pm. The next day, 26 July, Desvio Ceramics hosts a live pottery demo (3pm–5pm), followed by an outdoor screening of the modern classic La La Land at 7pm – all set against the stunning backdrop of the Cidadela Art District.
On top of all that, there are regular weekend events: Taberna Beats brings DJ sets every Saturday and Sunday from 5pm to 8pm, and BBQ Summer keeps the grill going strong with delicious barbecue and sea views every Friday from 12:30pm to 3pm.
In short: between art, wine, music and a good steak on the grill, July is looking very well served at the Cidadela Art District.
