Daniela Salles first began sharing her day-to-day life along the Linha through the Instagram page Oi Cascais, but the community of more than 50,000 followers quickly jumped from the phone screen into the real world. After its debut last year, Oi Cascais Kids is returning for a second edition. On 16 and 17 May, the FIARTIL grounds in Estoril will host this “mega event” dedicated to families. Tickets cost €7, but entry is free for children up to 13 years old.

The main banner of the 2026 edition is inclusion. The festival presents itself as a safe space for neurodivergent children, with the support of psychologists and other professionals who will ensure specific activities for kids with ADHD and autism. The initiative will also feature several associations working to promote children’s rights and wellbeing.

As for the programme, which is expected to be announced soon, it will cater to the whole family and go far beyond the (always very popular) bouncy castles. There will be workshops and hands-on classes in cooking, ceramics and micro-landscaping, as well as nature workshops aimed at promoting environmental awareness. For those looking for something more active, the line-up will also include yoga and self-defence classes that parents and children can practise together.

The venue will be divided into several areas, from a market featuring children’s brands (curated by the influencer) to a leisure space with a mobile planetarium, a kart track, a baby area and even a small farm with animals. Entertainment will be constant, with two stages hosting concerts, theatre performances and presentations by music and dance schools from the municipality of Cascais.

Av. Amaral (Estoril). 16–17 May, Sat 09.49–21.00, Sun 09.00–20.00. €7 (free for children up to 13).
