Sant'Iago Fair 2026 — Setúbal
Setúbal's largest and oldest fair returns to Parque de Sant'Iago from 23 July to 2 August 2026, under the theme "Setúbal, Natural Capital". Eleven days of music, food, crafts and fun at the foot of the Arrábida hills.
The Sant'Iago Fair is one of the most iconic events in the Setúbal and Arrábida region, with more than four centuries of history. In 2026, the fair runs from 23 July to 2 August at Parque de Sant'Iago, under the theme "Setúbal, Natural Capital", a tribute to the natural wealth of the city and the neighbouring Serra da Arrábida.
Over eleven days, the fairground turns into a vast stage of entertainment for all ages. Visitors will find concerts by Portuguese artists, food stalls serving the region's typical cuisine — from fried cuttlefish to the convent pastries of Azeitão — as well as handicrafts, fairground rides, exhibitions and family activities.
The fair is a perfect opportunity for summer visitors to the Arrábida to discover local traditions and taste the authentic flavours of Setúbal. The festive atmosphere stretches into the night, with food courts and stages keeping the grounds lively until the early hours.
Opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 6 PM to 1 AM, Friday from 6 PM to 2 AM, Saturday from 4 PM to 2 AM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 1 AM. Entry is free, making the fair accessible to all.
Located just minutes from Setúbal's historic centre and the entrance to the Arrábida Natural Park, the Sant'Iago Fair is a must-stop for anyone wanting to combine beach, nature and Portuguese folk culture during the summer.
