On dates associated with local celebrations, ten towns and villages will play host to the caravan, which will park in iconic locations for three days to spread not just food, but entertainment and fun, with this year’s event featuring more activities for children and street food just for them.
The next stop is Cartaxo, on June 16, 17 and 18, on the site of the Ateneu Artístico Cartaxense gymnastics evening. In addition to food, inflatables, tables and benches suitable for children
