Obidos Medieval Festival | Obidos
Celebration
The Óbidos Medieval Festival is one of Portugal's most famous and immersive medieval-themed festivals, held annually in the fairytale-like medieval town of Óbidos. This walled town is like an open-air museum, transforming completely during the festival into a 14th-15th century European medieval kingdom, filled with knights, bards, jugglers, craft markets, and traditional cuisine. In 2026, the event took place from July 16th to 26th, lasting 11 days, and featured spectacular historical reenactments. The Óbidos Medieval Market, held annually since 2002, is dedicated to creating an immersive medieval experience, including royal tournaments, banquets, duels, weddings, and various celebrations.
