Crato Festival 2026 tickets are on sale — four days of music for 45 euros if you buy by July 31
Crato Festival 2026 runs August 26–29 in the Alentejo with Slow J, Calema, Sara Correia, Delfins and Calum Scott. Full passes cost 45 euros until July 31, day tickets 15–20 euros.
Four nights of music in the Alto Alentejo for 45 euros — that’s the pitch from Crato Festival 2026, which now has a finished lineup and tickets on sale. The catch is not to dawdle: the full pass climbs to 50 euros from August 1.
When is Crato Festival 2026?
August 26–29, in the town of Crato in the Portalegre district, twinned with the 40th Craft and Gastronomy Fair that makes this one of the oldest fixtures on the Alentejo calendar. Opening night on the 26th brings Slow J, Dub Inc, Bispo and Zanova; the 27th belongs to Veigh, Papillon and Soraia Ramos; the 28th stacks Calema, Sara Correia, Delfins and KURA; and the closer on the 29th pairs Buba Espinho & Guests with Britain’s Calum Scott and Karetus. Pop, fado, rap, kizomba and electronica in one week — Crato has never believed in staying in one lane.
How much are Crato Festival tickets?
The four-day pass costs 45 euros until July 31 and 50 euros from August 1; with camping included it’s 60 or 70 euros depending on when you buy. Day tickets run 15 to 20 euros, on sale through the BOL, FNAC and Worten networks and the festival’s official site, which also carries the fair’s full programme.
August in the Alentejo rewards planning (and a hat): if you’d rather have a beach next to your festival, Sol da Caparica runs the week before — but to close the summer with cante, guitars and proper migas, the road points to Crato. Just take the locals’ advice: the only thing worth rushing is buying the pass before the month ends.
