The Festival promoted by the City Council of Viana do Castelo was created in 2016 with the purpose of attracting diverse audiences of all ages to the historic center, promoting the mobilization and integration of people, well-being and the enjoyment of a natural, architectural and cultural heritage. It was designed and planned to bring together different musical styles, for all types of audiences, covering all ages, in concerts promoted in different urban spaces and accessible to all.

With free admission as a premise, the festival aims to contemplate a strategic framework of the historic center of Vienna, the natural, scenic, heritage and monumental beauty of the city. The organization is concerned with prioritizing national artists, also giving relevant visibility to artists and bands from Viana and investing, not only in renowned musicians and groups, but also in new artists.

The various concerts, spread out in unique spaces, serve as a point of connection between the stages and the streets, avenues and alleys, but also as a reason to interact with the shops and open cafés, against the backdrop of the vast heritage that increasingly affirms Viana do Castelo as a first-class tourist destination.
