More than 30 hours of music, 17 shows, 14 artists and three stages promise to make New Year’s Eve in Coimbra a memorable event in 2024. This year, and for the first time, the programme starts on 28 December, with daily performances in the city centre, which is once again the epicentre of entertainment. With the works underway in the Portagem area almost finished, the main stage returns to its usual location, as do the shows in Praça do Comércio and Praça 8 de Maio. After making its debut in last year’s edition, the D. Pedro V Municipal Market is once again on the New Year’s Eve itinerary in Coimbra, presenting a programme that brings the best of Brazilian rhythms to the stage.

This is followed at 00.15 by Deejay Kamala, a proven performer on the electronic music scene. Opening the night, at 9.30pm, is Pedro Carrilho, a DJ from Coimbra.
