The Politics Festival program combines film, poetry, music, humour, conversations, debates, performances, and exhibitions, all with free admission. All performances and debates have interpretation into Libras, and all films, including those spoken in Portuguese, are subtitled in Portuguese.
The Politics Festival is a concept of the Politics Festival, co-produced by the Politics Festival (Aveiro), the Municipality of Loulé (Loulé), and the Municipality of Coimbra/Convento São Francisco (Coimbra), with support from the Portuguese Institute of Sports and Youth, the National Electoral Commission, and the European Parliament – Office in Portugal.
Created in 2017 in co-production with EGEAC (Lisbon’s Cultural Equipment and Entertainment Management Company), the festival has been part of the Lisbon Municipality’s April 1974 revolution commemoration program since its inception. The Politics Festival has held its own editions in Braga since 2019, in Loulé since 2022, and in Coimbra since 2023. Aveiro will join the group of host cities in 2025.
