Organised by the Municipality of Almeida, in partnership with the União de Freguesias do Castelo Mendo, Ade, Monteperobolso, and Mesquitela, the event offers an immersive journey into the customs and atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

This year’s edition is themed “Os Romances de Menda” and features a rich and diverse programme inspired by medieval mythology. Over the course of two days, visitors can enjoy medieval-themed games, horseback tournaments, family workshops, street theatre performances and traditional medieval foods designed to provide a truly authentic experience.

The fair also includes several permanent thematic activities aimed at all age groups, with a special focus on younger audiences through kid-friendly events. One of the highlights will be a traditional music concert, adding to the medieval ambiance and enriching the overall atmosphere of the event.

Entry to the Medieval Fair is free, encouraging broad public participation and promoting local culture and heritage. The celebration promises to be a memorable weekend full of history, tradition, and fun for the whole family.
