Join us for the Refugee Week Portugal 2026 Picnic in Porto!

A community gathering bringing people together through music, food, art and connection.

The Picnic is the annual anchor event of Refugee Week Portugal. Each year it takes place in a different city, celebrating the many cultures, stories and communities that form part of Portugal. Last year we gathered in Lisbon; this year we're delighted to bring the event to Porto.

During the afternoon, there will be:

• Live performances by artists connected to Chile, Senegal and Ukraine
• Music, creative activities and community moments
• Food, conversation and cultural exchange
• A welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for all ages

If you can, we also invite you to bring a dish or drink to share with others.

The event is free, but we kindly ask you to register to help us plan the day.

Everyone is welcome.
