Name: 25 de Abril in Lisbon: Freedom Day Parade and Red Carnations
Start: 2027-04-25
End: 2027-04-25
Location: Avenida da Liberdade

Question 1

Can we join the march, or only watch?

Accepted Answer

Both. Anyone can fall in behind the groups and walk down toward Rossio, or watch from the side of the Avenida and step out when the kids have had enough.

Question 2

Where's a good spot with small kids?

Accepted Answer

The march gathers at Marquês de Pombal at the top of the Avenida, which is the busiest stretch. Further down, the wide tree-lined side promenades give more room to stand back. Eduardo VII Park, with a playground, is a short walk uphill from the start.

Question 3

What else is open in Lisbon that day?

Accepted Answer

In 2026 the Museu do Aljube opened free from 10am to 6pm, and Parliament (Palácio de São Bento) and Belém Palace held open days. Check the city agenda closer to the day for this year's program.
