]]> Madeira once again takes centre stage as host to one of Europe’s most prestigious organ festivals. From 16 to 25 October, historic churches across the island will welcome unique concerts and a conference celebrating the theme “Women in Music”, featuring works by composers such as Mel Bonis, Jeanne Demessieux and Hildegard von Bingen.

Under the theme “Madeira and the World”, the festival invites us to reflect on the universal outlook of our Region. Since the earliest days of Atlantic expansion, Madeira has been a place of arrival and departure, a crossroads and a privileged meeting point for people, ideas and cultural expressions.

Bringing together Portuguese and international performers, the festival offers a programme that blends tradition, spirituality and musical innovation. An unmissable opportunity to experience Madeiran culture surrounded by architectural beauty and sublime sounds.

]]> From the second half of December until Christmas eve, Madeirans get up at the crack of dawn to participate in the masses honoring Our Lady.

After mass, in the church square, people share sandwiches of “carne de vinha d’alhos” (pork in wine and garlic), homemade liquors, songs and joy of the Christmas spirit. This is surely one of the best ways to get to know Madeirans’ Christmas spirit.

In all counties of the archipelago there are small parades and themed parties where everyone wears a carnival costume.

This event starts on Wednesday, before the “Entrudo” (Shrove or Fat Tuesday as it is known) and the fun goes on until the “Enterro do Osso” that takes place on the Saturday after Carnival day.
The biggest event of Carnival Season in Madeira happens on Saturday evening (Carnival Weekend) with the main parade in the streets of Funchal.

Numerous Samba groups parade in magnificent and colourful dance costumes. This is a real show of light, colour and music, that thousands join in to watch.
