Primavera Sound Porto will delve into the city's economy and tourism
Primavera Sound Porto 2024 isn't just about music. The festival is returning to Parque da Cidade on 6, 7 and 8 June and is bringing with it experiences that allow visitors to immerse themselves in the city's economy and tourism. A trip to Bolhão or a visit to a replica of a historic market stall will give you a better idea of what Invicta is made of. But that's not all.
In its 11th edition, one of the main attractions of Primavera Sound Porto will once again be the Bolhão Market, which will be represented in a replica. The space, which will allow for a more interactive experience, welcomes visitors with a passport that invites them to explore the different city projects present there.
Among the projects that visitors will be able to interact with are TERA (Talent. Evolve. Retain. Attract), Scale Up Porto and Invest Porto, under the Economy, Employment and Entrepreneurship portfolio, as well as Visit Porto, under the Tourism and Internationalisation portfolio.
In the space dedicated to TERA (Attract, Retain, Develop), participants will be put to the test in an interactive quiz, which will communicate the range of talents and job opportunities that exist in Porto.
At the Scale Up Porto stand (We Are All Entrepreneurs), players will have to eliminate incorrect options and get the right answers about the city's start-up ecosystem.
In the InvestPorto area (Shaping a Sustainable City), participants will be challenged to associate nationalities with more than 40 Leading Investors.
As part of the tourism programme, and at the Visit Porto stand (When You Stay In Porto, Stays In You), the Primavera Sound audience will be invited to discover the city's eight blocks through a dynamic game.
At each stall located in the mini Mercado do Bolhão, participants will have the opportunity to carry out interactive and themed activities designed by the Municipality. At the end of the trip, on presentation of the stickers proving their participation, they will enjoy a wine tasting and receive the Porto Kit, which includes a cap, tote bag/backpack and a Porto Diary for the month of June.
Historic stall has a wheel of fortune
On the fringes of the small market, a replica of a historic Bolhão stall will be set up. In this space, run by the municipal company GO Porto, there will be a wheel of fortune with offers for participants, which will materialise into opportunities to enjoy the best that Bolhão has to offer.
Among the prizes for visitors are vouchers with discounts that can be used in Bolhão's stalls and restaurants, bags alluding to the market and even products coming directly from the city's historic centre, such as fruit or flowers
Surrounding space for relaxation
As the doors open at 3.45pm and there are plenty of activities on offer, the site will have a Surrounding Space that will allow visitors to enjoy moments of relaxation, while also providing an opportunity to socialise.
In this area, the public will have access to sun loungers, swings, beds, tables and puffs, as well as free water. The ‘Drink Porto Water’ project, run by Águas e Energia do Porto, encourages tap water consumption by offering reusable cups.
Family Space is child-friendly
In the Family Space, kids and adults will find different ways to have fun between concerts. Under the motto ‘20 years of making Porto home’, the municipal company Domus Social will be running two different activities, which can be done in groups, with the aim of motivating healthy competition, while at the same time getting to know the main neighbourhoods of Invicta better.
In this area of the venue, children will have access to colouring books and tubes of soap bubbles provided by the municipal company Porto Ambiente, as well as backpacks with coloured pencils offered by GO Porto.
As this is an area aimed at children, it will also have a baby changing room and nursery.
