Events in Funchal

Madeira proudly presents a year-round calendar of events covering a wide variety of themes. Funchal is the epicentre of all the action, hosting, in addition to the official commemorations associated with tourist promotion (which include Christmas, New Year's Eve, Carnival, the Flower Festival, the Atlantic Festival, etc.), an array of different events that bring life and glow to the capital of Madeira.

In Funchal, events have different formats and take place in different venues. The Municipal Theatre and the Madeira Congress Centre, for example, are venues that frequently host concerts by prestigious artists. These two venues also host plays, musicals and ballets, diversifying the cultural offer in the city and in the archipelago.

Outdoor spaces are, especially in summer, the usual venues for events in Funchal. In the Santa Catarina Park and the Funchal Municipal Garden, it is common to be able to attend major concerts and even festivals that last for several days. The city squares, mainly Praça do Povo and Praça do Mar, are also the stage for entertainment throughout the year. Come and experience Funchal's events!

It is quite likely that when you visit the pearl of the Atlantic you will come across one of the events that regularly paint the city of Funchal in even more cheerful shades.
