Living the Rhythm of Loulé: Festival MED 2025 Returns June 26–29
Every summer, the historic town of Loulé transforms into a vibrant celebration of world music, culture, and community. From June 26 to 29, 2025, the Festival MED returns to the cobbled streets of Loulé’s old town, and with it comes one of the most immersive experiences southern Portugal has to offer.
For those who call Loulé home—or dream of doing so—Festival MED is more than just a music festival. It’s a window into the soul of the Algarve.
A Celebration of Culture and Community
Festival MED began over 20 years ago as a celebration of Mediterranean culture, but it has grown into one of Portugal’s most respected world music festivals, attracting artists from across the globe. In 2025, visitors can expect a rich lineup of international acts, along with local and regional talent, all set against the backdrop of Loulé’s charming streets, castles, and courtyards.
The festival isn't just about music. Stalls selling handmade crafts, local wines, and traditional foods line the streets. Art installations and street performers pop up in every corner. There’s even a dedicated zone for children, making it a family-friendly experience that blends tradition with creativity.

The town’s warm, inclusive spirit is especially palpable during Festival MED. Locals open their homes and businesses with pride, welcoming thousands of visitors. For anyone considering buying a home or relocating to the Algarve, this is an ideal time to experience Loulé’s authentic character.
