🇵🇹PIECES OF PORTUGAL IN VANCOUVER Did you know t🇵🇹PIECES OF PORTUGAL IN VANCOUVER
Did you know that Portugal in Vancouver started 12 years ago today?
Back in 2014, what began as a simple idea to celebrate and share Portuguese culture to a wider audience has grown into something truly meaningful; a vibrant celebration of identity, culture, and connection. And it continues to evolve thanks to the passion of those who keep these traditions alive while sharing them in new and creative ways.
So thank you for joining me on this journey of finding pieces of Portugal in Vancouver. Whether you’ve been here since day one or just discovered it today, your support, curiosity, and love for the culture are what keep this story going.
Here’s to 12 years of Portugal in Vancouver—and to many more to come! 🇵🇹
