Second edition of the Living in the Algarve seminars was a great success

Future events have already been announced to happen in Lisbon and the USA

– June 27, 2022

The second edition of the Living in the Algarve seminar events was another success, and organisers are planning a next stop in Quinta do Lago and plans announced to stage further events in Lisbon and the USA.

The Open Media Group, publishers of Inside Carvoeiro magazine, staged their second ‘Living in the Algarve’ event at the Cascade Wellness Resort in Lagos on June 15.

Over 180 guests registered on the event’s website to attend ensuring a busy day for the organisers and exhibitors.

The events, now with the official cooperation of the Algarve Tourism Authority (RTA), are aimed both at visitors to the region who may be looking for information about living here and at recently arrived foreign residents who also may need assistance.

Event partners for the Lagos seminar were: AFPOP, Blevins Franks, Casas do Barlavento, Luzdoc/Medilagos, Medal Insurance, Rosado Advogados, Sovereign Group and as local media partners, Tomorrow Algarve magazine.

The Inside Carvoeiro magazine, also part of the Open Media Group, spoke to various visitors during the event, such as Mr Peter Allen from the UK, who told us: “As a new arrival in Portugal, I was fortunate enough to attend Living in the Algarve at the Cascade Wellness Resort. Most of the exhibitors were of direct interest to me and I made contact with six subsequently, on a range of topics. Thanks Open Media for a fantastic event – really good for everyone involved.”

The event builds on the success of the first ‘Living in the Algarve’ show that was held in April at the Tivoli Hotel in Carvoeiro, with the next date fixed for September 22 at the Conrad Algarve hotel in Quinta do Lago.

Plans have also now been announced to expand the concept of these seminar events to various locations outside of the Algarve. “For events outside the Algarve, we will be rebranding as ‘Living in Portugal’ and we already have plans in hand to hold one event in the USA before the end of this year and one in Lisbon in early 2023,” said Open Media’s CEO, Bruce Hawker.

Over 30,000 expected to attend the Carvoeiro Black & White party this Saturday

Carvoeiro Black and White Summer Party returns for another memorable night in the Algarve

– June 15, 2022

The Carvoeiro Black and White Night party is returning this Saturday (June 18) from 8.30pm and 3am after being cancelled for two years due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Known as the event that marks the start of the Algarve’s summer agenda, the party is expected to attract over 30,000 people to the small town’s streets.

Live music, DJ sets and street entertainment are aplenty during the event, which begins at 8.30pm and runs late into the night.

Visitors are highly encouraged to dress in black and white in line with the town’s streets which are also stylishly decorated.

To avoid large bottlenecks and parking issues near the small town, Lagoa Council is calling on revellers to use the free bus linking Carvoeiro to parking areas near Fatacil, Apolónia, Aldi, Intermarché and Gramital (car park near Aldi) between 6pm and 4am.

“After the great success of the Lagoa Wine Show, which took place last weekend, we are truly committed to making this edition of Carvoeiro Black & White the best ever,” said Lagoa Mayor Luís Encarnação.

“We expect large crowds and are working arduously so that everyone has fun with the arrival of summer 2022,” he added.

Lagoa Wine Show starts this June 9 and promises four nights of wine tastings, concerts and more

Lagoa Wine Show returns after a two-year break to bring four memorable nights of wine tastings, gastronomic shows and concerts to the Algarve region

– June 9, 2022

After a two year break, Lagoa Wine Show, “one of the most popular wine shows in the south of Portugal”, will return once again, between June 9 and 12, to celebrate the town’s winemaking history and showcase the high-quality wines currently produced in the Algarve.

As organisers say, the event is returning for four nights of “good wine, Algarve gastronomy and the best music”.

The event, free to attend, will take place in the “heart of Lagoa” at Rua Coronel Figueiredo, between 7pm and midnight, and will feature wine tastings, gastronomic events and a daily cooking show featuring a different chef using regional products to prepare mouth-watering dishes.

The Lagoa Wine Show attracts winemakers from all over Portugal, but places special focus on the wines produced in the Algarve.

“The Algarve region is in a phase of increasing notoriety in the wine world, garnering the attention of national and international critics and experts, and earning recognition through several accolades received in wine contests in Portugal and abroad,” says the local council.

The municipalities of Lagoa, Albufeira, Lagos and Silves have even launched a joint bid to be named European City of Wine in 2023. The bid, entitled ‘Algarve Golden Terroir’, will be promoted at the Lagoa Wine Show.

But the event is not just about wine as a line-up of talented musicians are due to perform, including Fado singers Sara Correia (June 9), Luís Trigacheiro (June 10), and Ana Moura (June 12), as well as Flamenco group Sangre Ibérico (June 11).

The wine show will also feature the return of ‘Fado à Janela’, an initiative which sees singers and musicians walking along the town’s streets, stopping to perform at restaurants and even at people’s balconies.

“The 2022 edition of the Lagoa Wine Show is truly special for the people of Lagoa,” says Lagoa Mayor Luís Encarnação.

“This is the first anchor event we organise after a two-year break, thus expectations are high,” added the mayor, inviting everyone to visit “this great show promoting the best wines of the region”.
