The “Rock Festival near Rio Febras” (formerly Rock in Rio Febras) promotes bands and DJs mostly from the municipality of Guimarães, in a lively atmosphere of contagious joy and good madness.

The northern region of the municipality of Guimarães traditionally has a strong presence of bands and fans of Rock, with the first festivals of the genre having been held several decades ago and some achieving considerable success, which crossed the borders of the municipality. This event was created with the aim of reinforcing this tradition and providing a platform for local talent, which exists in abundance.

At the same time, the festival also has a strong charitable component. The profits are donated entirely to support the operation of the Centro de Dia da Casa do Povo de Briteiros.
