November 25 at 11am +43
Riding Arena Henrique Calado · Lisboa • 8 €
Watch Lusitano stallions train for royal galas as riders in 18th-century costume practice dressage to courtly music. Start in the stables, then take a seat in the historic Picadeiro Henrique Calado.
Nov. 30 & Dec. 1 at 9pm
Teatro Maria Matos · Lisboa • 21-23 €
A man, his boyfriend, and the woman he accidentally fell for walk into a dinner: Mike Bartlett's COCK turns an impossible love triangle into razor-sharp comedy about desire and indecision.
November 25 at 9pm
Teatro Armando Cortez · Lisboa
A late-night newsroom shifts into something more poetic: journalists chasing a story on fado and democracy end up reliving it. Ary dos Santos' verses and live Portuguese guitar carry the night toward the dawn of April 25th.
November 26 at 9:30pm +4
Fábrica Braço de Prata · Lisboa • Free
Philosophy, but make it stand-up. Nuno Nabais tackles one big question each week, from Ceuta's conquest to solitude, in a free night of ideas and laughs at Fábrica Braço de Prata.
December 7 at 6:30pm +3
Artlier - Escola de Artes e Ofícios · Lisboa • 161,50 €
Bring that wobbly chair or tired dresser back to life. Over four sessions, you'll learn traditional techniques like shellac polishing and marquetry, or go modern with decoupage and decapé. All tools included, just bring a piece and your creativity.
December 3 at 10am +9
Artlier - Escola de Artes e Ofícios · Lisboa • 161,50 €
Get your hands dirty and leave with something you made. This four-session ceramics workshop takes you from raw clay to glazed, fired piece using ball, coil, slab, and hollowing techniques.
November 25 at 8pm +4
Fábrica Braço de Prata · Lisboa
Channel 1920s Harlem every Wednesday at this weekly Lindy Hop night. Grab a partner (or find one there) and swing out to joyful vintage rhythms in a former munitions factory turned cultural hub.
November 25 at 10am +10
Artlier - Escola de Artes e Ofícios · Lisboa • 160 €
Already know your way around clay? This studio club hands you four potter's wheels, a rainbow of glazes, and kiln access, with ceramist Carolina Andrade coaching a group of just eight.
December 6 at 5:30pm
Church of Our Lady of the Rosary of Fatima · Lisboa
Nine concerts trace Saint Francis of Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures, pairing organ, choir, countertenor, and more with a glowing modernist church. Free Thursday lunchtime recitals included.
November 26 at 7pm +4
Pavilhão Chinês · Lisboa • $$
Fado the way it's meant to feel: one voice, one Portuguese guitar, zero staging. Real Fado strips the genre to its raw emotional core inside Pavilhão Chinês, a century-old bar packed floor to ceiling with curios.
November 26 at 10pm +4
Fábrica Braço de Prata · Lisboa • Free
Every Thursday night, a former weapons factory in Marvila opens its stage to anyone with an instrument and something to say. The house opens the set, then the jam takes over: grand piano and drums provided, free entry, zero pretension.
November 27 at 7pm +7
Patriarchal Reservoir · Lisboa
Fado goes underground: traditional voice and Portuguese guitar echo through a 19th-century cistern beneath Príncipe Real. The subterranean stone acoustics turn every mournful note into pure goosebumps.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
