On the last weekend of May, Serralves opens a free arts festival across its park, villa and museum, with music, dance, circus, street theatre, cinema and workshops. Recent editions run about 50 non-stop hours. Check the official festival site for the programme, because artists and stages change every year. Plan it as a half day in the park, since events are spread across the museum, the villa and the grounds.
