What kinds of tickets are there?

A daily ticket, a livre-trânsito wristband, and the Official Kit, which bundles the wristband with a gift, a badge and a reusable cup. 2027 prices are not out yet. Tickets sell on Ticketline, at the official carnival shop on Avenida 5 de Outubro and at the Torres Vedras tourist office.

We bought tickets for 2026. Do they work in 2027?

Yes. The 2026 edition was canceled after storms damaged roads around Torres Vedras, and those tickets are valid for 2027 with nothing to do. One exception: a daily ticket already used at the "Uma Festa do Caraças" event no longer counts for 2027.

About

A street carnival with roots in the 16th century, known across Portugal for its satire. Kids watch the satirical floats, wave at the Carnival Kings, and meet giant-headed cabeçudos, Zés-Pereiras drum bands and the matrafonas, local men dressed as women. Day and night parades fill the town with music. It suits kids who like noise and costumes; with hundreds of thousands of revelers, it is not for crowd-shy kids.
