full july agenda + group trip + your help

july is packed — festivals, trips, events all month long. since things move fast, thismustbeporto is switching to a monthly newsletter for now. the full updated list is always on the web version.

also, we’re building something new! i’ve teamed up with Emilie — you might know her from the Porto community — who’s been organising events around yoga, food and sound healing.

we share the same belief: that finding your people in a new city shouldn’t be so hard.

so we’re creating an event app where you can see who’s going, chat with other attendees and stay connected after.

we’d love your input — takes just 5min to answer these questions and it will help shape the future of events in Porto.
