I can’t believe it has been 10 years! Time has a way of passing quickly, especially when you’re busy building something meaningful. But I didn’t want to let this milestone pass by without acknowledging it and thanking all of you for your support and interest in Portugal in Vancouver.
What began as a simple idea has now blossomed into a vibrant and thriving community resource! It’s incredible to see how a small idea can grow and evolve into something far beyond what was initially imagined. Portugal in Vancouver has become more than just a business—it’s a place where people can learn about and celebrate Portuguese culture, cuisine, and community.
Here’s to another decade of success, growth, and celebrating all things Portuguese!
I have just returned from a month long visit to São Miguel where I visited family and friends and ate delicious food and drank espressos, Kimas, wines and beer. How I wish I could have filled up my suitcase with all those tasty Portuguese culinary delights and beverages. But the next best thing is going to one or all of these many Portuguese Things To Do for October 2024 to enjoy some Portuguese food and culture. Just click the link for each individual event to get the complete details. I will update this list as I discover new events, so check back often. Obrigada!

I hope you have been enjoying your summer so far. Can you believe it is August already?! This is the month where most of the non-profits and their volunteers take a well deserved break from hosting events which means there are very few Portuguese Things To Do for August 2024. But what things there are to do, I’ve listed below. Just click the link for each individual event to get the complete details. I will update this list as I discover new events, so check back often.
