THE MAIN STAGE OF HUMOR
The Panorama – Multipurpose Hall in Alcobaça is the epicentre of the festival.
More than a modern and versatile venue, it’s a space created to put Alcobaça on the map of major national events. With the capacity to host large-scale productions, the Panorama is a symbol of cultural dynamism and decentralisation, transforming Alcobaça into a meeting point for artists, audiences, and new ideas.
“If Alcobaça is known for the love story of King Pedro and Inês de Castro, we want it to also be remembered for its humour. Love and humour hand in hand, always,” emphasises the organisation.
Three days of laughter, sharing, and creative energy that promise to make Alcobaça the true Capital of Humour for three days. Tickets are already on sale. More information at www.capitaldohumor.pt
Always confirm with the concert hall or promoter the access conditions, confirmation of the date and time, ticket sales location, price, and availability.
