The Lisbon Iberian Mask Festival is an annual cultural event that brings ancestral pagan rituals from rural Portugal and Spain to the capital. Its primary focus is the large-scale parade featuring hundreds of masked characters known as caretos, who perform ancient rituals in colorful wool outfits. The event also includes a dedicated showcase for regional food and handmade crafts from the Iberian Peninsula.

The Fátima Pilgrimage is a world-renowned spiritual event in Portugal commemorating the 1917 claimed appearances of the Virgin Mary. The main highlights include the stunning Candlelight Procession, which transforms the sanctuary into a sea of light at night. It also features unique traditions like the “Adeus” Farewell ceremony and the sight of pilgrims crossing the vast plaza on their knees.
