Daredevil air races, rocking out under the stars to a massive festival lineup of bands or getting hit on the head with a plastic hammer — yes, really — during the city’s rather whacky traditional festival are among what’s on offer. Though it’s not without culture either, offering one of the biggest arts festivals in Europe. Porto has a busy schedule planned but these are the six events you should make sure go in your diary.

Fantasy, sci-fi and horror are the order of the day at one of the world's leading film festivals for these genres.
Primavera Sound is one of the most popular music festivals on the European summer circuit, and every year features some of the most famous, exciting and ground-breaking acts, artists and talent in the world. Originally based in Barcelona, where it began as a tiny event in the 90s before the current incarnation first took place in 2001, since 2012, it has become a multi-city festival, with Porto the more alternative, more intimate version. Located between the city and the sea in a picturesque location, the festival is committed to a diverse and eclectic line-up, and Porto is the perfect place to enjoy one of the best music festivals there is.
