In Braga, the three-day program concludes on Sunday, September 6. The closing festivities include performances by the Braga Philharmonic Orchestra and singer Bárbara Tinoco, alongside visual spectacles such as the ‘A Luz de Braga’ videomapping and a drone show titled ‘Da memória à luz: Braga em Movimento’ at Avenida Central.
