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. Obrigada!
