Venues

The Forró Douro Festival takes place on the Ribeira in Porto and Gaia, in one of Porto’s most iconic landscapes and just a few minutes from its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Alfândega do Porto

The Alfândega do Porto is one of Oporto’s most iconic buildings.
Inaugurated in 1869, it was initially used to facilitate the transportation of goods and a ground floor link was even built between it and Campanhã station.
In the 1990s it was renovated to create a Congress Center, museums and to preserve the building.
Nowadays it is a reference venue for large-scale events ranging from lectures to electronic music events.

Armazém 22

Armazém 22 was born out of a partnership between Kale Companhia de Dança and Gaia City Council with the aim of creating a place that could not only house the company but also serve as a dynamic space for dance, theater and music performances in the historic center of Vila Nova de Gaia.
Created in 2015, Armazém 22, in addition to its didactic part as a dance school, has been developing a continuous program and has already hosted artists such as Clã, ESMAE’s Baroque Orchestra, Las Çarandas and companies such as Esquiva – Companhia de Dança and Teatro da Palmilha Dentada, among others.
