Portugal Day celebrates the country\u2019s culture and heritage across the globe.<\/h2>\n

For different ways to explore this magical country, here’s some inspo.<\/h3>\n

10 June: Dia de Portugal, de Cam\u00f5es e das Comunidades Portuguesas<\/i><\/h4>\n

Translation: Day of Cam\u00f5es, Portugal, and the Portuguese Communities. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 10 June date commemorates the death of the poet Lu\u00eds de Cam\u00f5es in 1580, best known for his epic poem \u2018Os Lusiadas\u2019, <\/em>an imaginative account of Vasco de Gama\u2019s discovery of a sea route to India, with help and hindrance from Roman gods along the way.<\/p>\n

Wait- a national holiday that celebrates a poet, not a politician? Neat!<\/p>\n

Members of the Portuguese diaspora (and those lucky enough to join in) celebrate the holiday all over the world. (think St Patrick\u2019s Day, but with better food)<\/p>\n

Music<\/h4>\n

The Primavera Sound Festival Porto kicks off the summer festival season 6-8 June. The festival includes well-known headliners SZA and PJ Harvey, afrobeats by Obongjayar, Ethel Cain crushing the gothic songbook, as well as a diverse representation of the Portuguese music scene.<\/p>\n
