July 4 in Portugal: Porto to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary

A special July 4 celebration in Porto will mark the 250th anniversary of the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence.

Organisers afpop, the largest association for foreigners in Portugal, say the celebration is not political and people of all nationalities and backgrounds are invited to join what promises to be a memorable evening.

The event, which is organised by afpop Area Event Organizer Jamie Makuuchi and his team but is open to both members and non-members of afpop, will be taking place on Saturday, July 4, from 4pm until 10pm, at Torreão on Rua das Virtudes 37.

“It’s sure to be the largest gathering of expats in town and a festive event like no other. We’ve reserved a special venue featuring incredible views of the Douro,” explained Jamie.

Enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs, sardines, Super Bock beer, wine, sangria and more while mingling with friends and taking in the views of the Douro from a building dating back to the 14th century.

The event is by sponsored Medal Insurance and Identity Abroad who are offering the first 100 guests a free welcome drink.

Proceeds from the event will benefit SAOM, Serviços de Assistência Organizações de Maria, a private organization that provides services for the elderly, disabled and young adults, as well as assistance to pilgrims on their way to Santiago.

If you want to dine at Torreão Restaurant and Bar after 7.30pm and enjoy their full menu, please make reservations directly with the restaurant by emailing them at [email protected] or on their website or by using The Fork. Please mention afpop when making reservations.
