It’s June, and it means that is THE month to be in Tavira if you want to see all the traditional festivities. The official day of the city is on the 24th of June, and until then festivities about the popular Saints will be in the daily agenda.
Apart from the usual festivities, spread across the council, Tavira will once again be the stage for the street parades, on the 23rd at the Praça da República, and on the 27th at the Dr. Eduardo Mansinho Municipal Pavilion, at 9.30 pm.

Similarly to what happened last year around this time, Tavira will be hosting the 6th Sea Gastronomy Festival between the 9th and 24th of May.
By enjoying a meal in one of the participating restaurants, you will have access to the ongoing exposition “Tavira, Sea Heritages” at Palácio da Galeria/Municipal Museum.
The participants will also have the chance to win a week-end “Near the Sea” in one of the following hotels: Aldeamento Turístico Pedras da Rainha (Cabanas), Casa de Hóspedes Viana (Cabanas), Cabanas Park Resort (Cabanas), Aparthotel Golden Club (Cabanas), Apartamentos Turísticos Pedras D’El Rei (Santa Luzia) e Vila Galé Albacora (Tavira).
The success of the previous editions of the Gastronomy Festivals has been a decisive factor to promote even more Tavira’s Gastronomy.
Healthy food, eat with time, and preferrably in a traditional restaurant. Talk and have fun with friends. Exercise and walk, admire and protect the environment. Respect culture and habits, have a calm life based on quality principles in a fast and demanding world. These are the fundaments of Cittaslow to what Tavira joined in December 2008.
Linked to this concept is also the “Slow Food”, allowing people to discover the pleasure of eating and understand the food origins, how it’s made and by whom. In this way, the Tavira Gastronomy Festivals go hand-by-hand with this concept and movement having as a primary objective to raise awareness towards the local gastronomy and dishes that bring together family and friends.
