About Festival Medieval de Elvas
Elvas Medieval Festival 2026
The Portuguese town of Elvas will host its Medieval Festival from 2 to 5 July 2026. The event will take place in the historic centre and invites visitors to discover medieval culture. Exact opening times and admission prices have not yet been published; those interested should check the municipality’s website for further details.
Elvas is situated in the Portalegre region on the border with Spain. The town is known for its 17th-century fortifications – a heritage that regularly takes centre stage at medieval events. The festival uses the authentic old town as a stage for historical re-enactments and craft markets.
Its proximity to the Spanish border makes Elvas an attractive destination for visitors wishing to explore both Portuguese and Spanish medieval culture. The four-day format allows for an in-depth exploration of the programme. The town collaborates with local associations during the planning stage to create an authentic experience.
