Like any other festival goer, I love me a good food festival. I’m not going to try veil this thinly but Portuguese festivals are the places to be. Everyone’s always up for a good time plus the food and entertainment is always on point.
As a fellow Madeiran myself, the first generation of my family to be born in South Africa, I’m excited that there’s finally a Madeiran Portuguese festival.
I promise you that there is much more to Madeira other than being the homeland of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Hi Nikita,
Any chance you could email me the line up for the festival.
We would like to check if Jose Malhoa is there the whole weekend or only on a specific day?
Thanks very much,
Regards
Hi Gina,
I haven’t received the official line-up. Once I do, it’ll be published here.
