MED FESTIVAL

It is a World Music festival that establishes itself as a European reference, with a distinctive concept and a strong identity that made it gain high international notoriety. Annually, at the end of June, the Historic Area of Loulé is not only invaded by sounds from different parts of the world but also by colours, flavours and odours that reflect the cultural diversity, which is the hallmark of the event.

In addition to a musical lineup that brings to Portugal the best artists in the so-called world music industry, this festival also involves a mix of cultural manifestations ranging from food to visual arts, street entertainment, handicrafts, dance, theatre, cinema, poetry, workshops and much more, with an evident objective of spreading interculturality and promoting the union of peoples and tolerance.

Help us calculate our Carbon Footprint

Based on its local climate action policy and commitment to carbon neutrality, the Municipality of Loulé intends to Calculate the Carbon Footprint of Municipal Events. The ongoing project includes the development of a strategy to mitigate GHG (Greenhouse Gas) emissions, through the application of various measures and a plan for subsequent compensation of GHG emissions. To this end, we invite everyone who visits the MED Festival to respond to a short questionnaire found at this link: https://forms.office.com/e/FWL99UwgPZ?origin=lprLink

The Environment deserves our best!
