The Municipality of Elvas is preparing to host Expo São Mateus 2026, scheduled for September 18 to 27. The event will feature musical performances across two main areas, Palco São Mateus and Palco da Feira, with a program including fado, pop, and children’s entertainment.

A central component of the upcoming expo is a new inclusivity initiative for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). On September 22, the municipality and the Confraria do Senhor Jesus da Piedade plan to implement sensory-friendly measures at Parque da Piedade. This will involve a two-hour period where music and sound systems are turned off throughout the fairgrounds to mitigate sensory overload for attendees.
