White Night in Régua with Pete Tha Zouk, Igor Guimarães and Rui Pedro
On August 3, 2026, Peso da Régua dresses in white for a night of electronic music as part of the Douro Festivities. DJs Igor Guimarães, Pete Tha Zouk and Rui Pedro keep the city dancing until dawn, with free admission.
Part of the program of the Festivities in Honor of Our Lady of Socorro — the Douro Festivities 2026 — the Noite Branca (White Night) is one of the most anticipated moments of summer in Peso da Régua. On the night of August 3, 2026, the city invites locals and visitors to dress in white and celebrate to the sound of some of Portugal's best-known DJs: Igor Guimarães, Pete Tha Zouk and Rui Pedro.
Pete Tha Zouk is one of the Portuguese DJs and producers with the greatest international reach, having played dance floors and festivals around the world, while Igor Guimarães blends comedy and music in a style that has won over Portuguese audiences. Rui Pedro, a regular in the country's top DJ booths, completes a lineup designed to carry the party deep into the night in a relaxed, festive atmosphere beside the Douro River.
The tradition of electronic music nights during Régua's festivities takes place around the Parque Multiusos and the riverside quay, where the music continues until the early hours. The setting could not be more special: the terraced vineyards of the UNESCO World Heritage Alto Douro Wine Region lit up by the celebration, and the river reflecting the city lights. It is an experience that combines the energy of a major urban event with the charm of a Douro town at the height of the season.
As white night tradition dictates, the dress code is simple: white clothing from head to toe. Admission is free, as with the main musical moments of the Douro Festivities, making this night a perfect plan for anyone holidaying in the region — whether staying in Régua itself or at the wine estates and hotels nearby.
To make the most of it, arrive early in the evening, have dinner at one of the festival food stalls or local restaurants, and secure a spot near the stage before the main set. The following day the festivities continue with a concert by Álvaro Cortez, so it is well worth extending your stay. Check the official program on the Peso da Régua Municipality website to confirm times and any updates.
