Celebrate Portuguese Heritage—and Help Preserve a Piece of Portugal!

Did you know that the beautiful Igreja de Válega, also known as the Church of Nossa Senhora do Amparo, is a treasured landmark in Ovar, Portugal?

Construction of this remarkable church began in 1746 and continued for more than a century. Today, it is admired for its breathtaking, colorful azulejos—traditional Portuguese ceramic tiles depicting religious scenes. Its magnificent main façade was decorated with vibrant tiles from the Aleluia factory in Aveiro around 1960, making the church one of Portugal’s most distinctive architectural treasures.

This November, our Portuguese community in Palm Coast has a special opportunity to celebrate our culture while giving back to our heritage.

The 2nd Annual Portuguese Festival is more than a celebration of music, food, and tradition. Proceeds from the event will support the Igreja de Válega in Portugal, helping give back to this historic church and the community it serves.

🎶 Join us on Sunday, November 8, 2026, at 12:00 PM at 1340 Palm Harbor Parkway in Palm Coast for a wonderful day featuring:

Live music with: Kenny Real, Telmo Rodrigues, and performing traditional desgarradas, Tatty & Cristiano Cardoso

Delicious Portuguese food, including frango churrasco, feijoada, sardines, and more.

A celebration of Portuguese culture, community, and generosity.

🎟️ Tickets:

Adults: $60
Ages 13–17: $30
Children under 12: Free

📍 Tickets are available at the Amaral office, 29 Old Kings Road N, Suite 1A in Palm Coast, through November 2.
For information, call 386-445-9393 or 386-264-0760.

Come enjoy a memorable festival, reconnect with our Portuguese roots, and help support the beautiful Church of Válega. Every ticket helps make this celebration a meaningful contribution to our heritage.

❤️ Celebrate our culture. Support our roots. Help preserve a piece of Portugal.
