- 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.

Event Details
'Strange way of life' is an exhibition which takes its title from the title of a famous fado sung by Amália Rodrigues. The exhibition brings together works by Francesco Vezzoli, Luís Palma and Patrícia Almeida.
Francesco Vezzoli’s work, 'Amália betrayed', a video belonging to the Serralves Foundation’s collection, interrogates the myth of Amália through a soap opera kind of summary of her life story presented and played by two divas from the history of cinema and television: Lauren Bacall and Sónia Braga.
Patrícia Almeida and Luís Palma, use photography to reveal unexpected images from the margins of the new lifestyles which have arisen from the Algarve’s transformation into an international tourism resort.
Event Location Convento de Santo António, Rua Nossa Senhora da Piedade, Loulé
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 3pm to 11pm, Saturday from 10am to 11pm
