Early August highlights include free outdoor cinema screenings in locations such as Oeiras, Lisbon, Benfica, and Boavista, alongside a focus on traditional, nutritious cuisine in the Algarve region.

By late August, programming continues with decentralized cultural initiatives in Ourém, featuring film dubbing workshops and outdoor cinema in Cercal and Fátima. Additionally, Montemor-o-Novo is set to host Purple Onion Week, an event celebrating local agricultural identity through market sales, cooking demonstrations, and a bread competition.
