In this edition of the Lusofonia Festival, greater emphasis will be placed on promoting the culture of Goa, Damão and Diu, so a Chef and a Temporary Tattoo Artist from these territories were invited to hold Gastronomy and Temporary Tattoo presentation at the Festival space.

In order for local residents and tourists to have a deeper knowledge of the traditions, customs and unique culture of Portuguese-speaking Countries and Regions, this year, for the first time, the Lusofonia Festival period was extended to two weekends. Cultural Booths from local Portuguese-speaking Communities from Angola, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Goa, Daman and Diu, Mozambique, Portugal, San Tome and Príncipe, East Timor and the Macanese community will be represented at the event, in which they will make themselves known to the public the music, dance, art, crafts, traditional costumes, literature, tourist information and even the snacks and drinks typical of their countries or regions.

For this 27th edition of the Lusofonia Festival, artists from 10 Portuguese-speaking Countries and Regions were invited, namely the Portuguese singer Fernando Daniel, the Angolan singer Yuri da Cunha, the Mozambican singer Selma Uamusse, the Brazilian singer Filipe Toca, the Cape Verdean musical group Ferro Gaita, Guinean singer Nené Pereira, the music and dance group from Goa, Daman and Diu, Daman Darshan, the Timorese dance group Le-Ziaval, the Equatorial Guinea dance group GE Dancers and the Grupo Cultural 100% Santola from San Tome and Principe. These 10 invited artists together with around 35 local Portuguese-speaking artists will present music and dance performances livening up the event's two stages throughout the 6 days of the Festival. The public attending the event will also be able to enjoy the typical cuisine of Portuguese-speaking countries as well as take part in traditional Portuguese games, table football tournaments and recreational games for children.
