From November 7th to 13th, 2024, Madeira will host the Madeira Street Arts Festival — a vibrant international celebration that will transform the streets of Funchal and the Calheta waterfront into a living art space. Over these days, the central squares, parks, and charming streets of the city will come alive with living statues, music, theater, circus acts, dance, and much more. The festival invites both locals and visitors to immerse themselves in a world of creativity and inspiration.
Art on Every Corner
One of the main goals of the festival is to make art accessible to everyone. You’ll have the chance to enjoy performances right on the streets, as for many locals and visitors, this is the only opportunity to see such shows. Madeira Street Arts Festival provides a chance to step outside traditional stage settings and let everyone experience the magic of art in public spaces.
Throughout the festival, Funchal will literally be breathing creativity from 10 AM to 10 PM. On the final day, November 10th, the celebration will move to the Calheta waterfront, adding new exciting events to the program in a beautiful coastal setting.
