Carnival at WOW with activities for everyone
WOW proposes a series of fun activities for the Carnival holiday.
From March 1st to 4th, the cultural season will have special menus, a Carnival festival with music and dance combined, themed visits and workshops, among other activities designed for the whole family.
The most exciting days of the year are approaching and WOW proposes activities for the whole family during the Carnival holiday. From March 1st to 4th, there are themed activities inside the museums and traditional Carnival dishes at T&C. The cocktail menu at the Angel’s Share wine bar will also have some new additions to the theme, and on March 1st and 2nd, there will be a huge Carnival Festival taking place, with all the energy of Brazil.
Workshops: the country’s Carnival traditions to experience inside museums
WOW museums offer a different way to celebrate Carnival. All the children can come dressed up. But, in addition, the cultural quarter offers workshops where you can learn more about the different Portuguese traditions regarding Carnival. Therefore, inspired by the Carnival of the Schist Villages, the Cork Museum will promote a workshop to create masks made from cork, of course. The ticket costs €22 and includes the visit to the museum plus participation in the activity.
At the Wine Museum, there will be a themed visit on the theme of the Podence Carnival. Taking advantage of the wine regions, where the traditions of the different regions are explored, the Wine Museum will create a different visiting dynamic, taking place from March 1st to 4th, in two daily sessions: at 11:30 am and 4 pm. The ticket costs €20. Children pay €9.
At the Chocolate Museum, children will have the opportunity to create and decorate their chocolate masks. An activity that invites you to get your hands dirty and at the end allows you to taste your mask. The price is €22 and includes the visit to the museum plus the workshop.
Carnival to celebrate at the table too
From March 1st to 4th, the T&C restaurant will have an adapted, plentiful and rich menu, as tradition dictates: feijoada à transmontana, sopa da pedra and cozido à portuguesa. These are traditional dishes with the magic of iron pots on the fire, so typical of Portuguese villages. Reservations can be made online.
During these days, Angel’s Share also offers a special menu, with themed cocktails: there is the Entrudo (€11), the Sapucaí (€12) and the Mardi Gras (€10), three signature cocktails that aim to convey the spirit of Carnival revelry. They can be tasted at the wine bar in the cultural quarter and reservations are not necessary.
Carnival Festival: two days of hot rhythms
For those who love good dancing and the vibrant energy of Brazilian rhythms, WOW proposes the Carnival Festival. On March 1st and 2nd, there will be live shows of samba, pagode, forró, axé, funk and Brazilian popular music. From three in the afternoon to three in the morning, there will be 12 hours of pure excitement every day. There is also a children’s area and an all-you-can-eat feijoada buffet from 6 pm to 11 pm. Tickets are available online.
Always confirm with the concert hall or promoter the conditions of access, confirmation of the date or time, ticket place of sale, price, and availability.
