Annual events in Loulé
- January: Querença Sausage Festival (Festa das Chouriças). A festival in honour of São Luis (the protector of animals) with a procession, musical entertainment and lots of tasty local sausages to enjoy!
- February Carnival: 3 days of parades, music and dancing, the 3rd day being Shrove Tuesday. The centre of Loulé (Avenida José da Costa Mealha) is shut off for the carnival and it costs 2 euros for entrance (2007). It is worth arriving early - the procession starts at 3.00pm but you will need time to find parking, especially if you haven't been to Loulé before.
 
- Easter Sunday - the beginning of the celebrations 'Feast of the Sovereign Mother', the patron saint of Loulé. Thousands of people come to see the procession and join in what is known as the “Festa Pequena”, the small feast. The 'Festa Grande' takes place 2 weeks later.
