Festival venue lit in pink, with the dance floor and DJ booth

You’ve booked your pass. You’re already thinking about your first pastel de nata. And someone in the group chat has asked “What time does the party start?” for the fourth time.

Let’s save everyone a little scrolling.

You can now add all six Porto Salsa Weekend sessions to your calendar. Three afternoon socials, three evening parties, and fewer opportunities to say “Wait… that was today?”

Six sessions. One very happy calendar.

Each event includes its start and finish time, a short description, and the venue address:

Herança Magna
Rua de Serpa Pinto 239
4400-307 Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal

The Friday Afternoon Social also includes the wristband collection information. Your calendar is officially more organised than your suitcase.

Using Google Calendar?

Do this part on a computer:

  1. Open our Schedule page.

  2. Find “Your plans. In your calendar.” and click Google Calendar.

  3. The programme file downloads and Google Calendar’s import settings open in another tab.

  4. Select porto-salsa-weekend-schedule.ics from your downloads.

  5. Choose your calendar and click Import.

Open the Schedule page ↗︎

If the download doesn’t start, use Download iCal on the Schedule page first.

Done. Six excellent reasons to decline boring plans. Once imported into your Google account, the sessions will also appear on devices syncing that calendar.

Using another calendar app?

Click Download iCal on the same page, then open or import the downloaded file in a calendar app that supports .ics files. Choose your calendar and confirm the import.

The exact steps depend on your app and device. The dancing remains reassuringly universal.

A small detail for the “one more song” crowd

The Sunday party finishes at 04:00 on Monday 5 October. That’s intentional. Your calendar hasn’t made a mistake. We simply take Sunday nights seriously.

The programme uses Porto’s local time. Your calendar may display those events in your current time zone, so check this when planning your trip.

This is a calendar import, not a live subscription. Check the website for any later programme changes.

Save your weekend. Leave room for a riverside walk, a francesinha and a nap you probably won’t take.
