Our Bread Festival | Videmonte

Our Bread Festival | Videmonte

There's bread with art in the mountain village of Videmonte on 01, 02 and 03 August 2025 - Pão Nosso Festival. Bread and the cycle that makes it are the protagonists of this initiative, which aims to honour all the inhabitants who preserve and pass on this ancestral knowledge from generation to generation. Throughout the weekend it will be possible to learn about the bread cycle with the Ethnographic Exhibition Harvest, Knitting and Rye, go for walks along the Oven Route and get your hands dirty in the bread workshops.
