every week, when i sit down to curate events, i’m surprised (again) by how much is happening in porto.
but you know what’s even better? more and more local spaces and businesses are starting to communicate in english—slowly, intentionally—making things a bit more open, a bit more inclusive.
wherever you’re from, whatever brought you here, i hope porto is starting to feel like home.
30+ curated events for you this week — which one will you join?
