IN BRIEF

Visitors can use published ticket and rail arrangements to plan a day without treating an old edition's dates or prices as current.

  • The 2026 festival is on 3 and 4 October.
  • A day ticket costs €10 and the two-day pass costs €15 after 15 September.
  • Entry is free through age 11, with a venue discount for under-18s and students.
  • CP publishes event travel discounts with specific purchase and proof conditions.
01

What the museum is hosting

The programme crosses contemporary music, performance, cinema, books, workshops and railway heritage under the theme Fantasiar o Futuro. Announced music includes Iolanda, Mandra, xtinto, Fogo Fogo and Stereossauro on Saturday, with Rita Vian, Motherflutters and Hermanas Sisters on Sunday.

Activities run in different museum spaces, so use the official timetable rather than assuming one continuous main-stage programme. Ticket conditions and capacity can differ between activities.

02

Travelling by train needs the right proof

CP advertises a 30% discount on regular Intercidades, Regional and InterRegional services to Entroncamento from 2 to 5 October, plus special conditions for some urban connections. The event ticket must be shown under the published rules.

A festival ticket is not itself a rail ticket. Buy the correct transport product, keep the event proof available for inspection and check the return timetable before entering the venue.
