Sintra introduces monthly forró dance events at Mercado da Várzea

The Sintra Municipal Council is launching a monthly cultural initiative titled ‘Forró no Mercado da Várzea’. The event will take place at the Mercado da Várzea on the first Saturday of every month from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

The program aims to revitalize municipal markets by integrating traditional commerce with cultural activities and community social interaction. The chosen genre is forró, a traditional Brazilian dance style that includes various rhythms such as baião, xote, xaxado, and electronic forró.
