Street Parades & Carnival in Lisbon
🎭 Join the Lisbon Carnival
Lisbon’s Carnival is participatory: most blocos welcome new participants and organize ensaios (open rehearsals) accessible to everyone.
Street parades are free for both participants and spectators, but organizing them has real costs (security, logistics, permits). Many collectives rely on donations, so consider supporting them.
Below you’ll find the main blocos and their Instagram pages / websites to contact them. Following them is worth it year-round: workshops, concerts and regular events.
