28TH OPORTO CAMELLIA EXHIBITION
Event
Porto in bloom, even before spring. The 28th Camellia Exhibition is coming to Parque de São Roque on the first weekend of March, bringing together growers and lovers from all over the world.
During the days of the exhibition, Parque de São Roque will also host several concerts. On 2 March, the Amara Quartet will play, followed by singer Charlotte Akenhead, saxophonists Rodrigo Amado and Ricardo Toscano, and violinists Blue & White. The following day there is a piano recital by Carlos Bianchini, a concert by Pedro Lima and João Miguel Braga Soares and, at the end of the day, a show by harpist Ana Aroso, saxophonist Isabel Anjo and soprano Marina Pacheco.
Music is not, however, the only artistic expression on the programme. On Saturday, visitors can take part in the travelling animation of the Persil Noir project and the didactic performance The Fabulous Time Stopping Machine. On Sunday, there are circus moments with Piano Clown and the Carmim show, as well as the Florentine Explorer's workshop-tour, which will lead visitors to discover the secrets of São Roque Park.
The activities on 3 March also include free origami camellia workshops, eco-creative jewellery making, tea tasting, mask decorating, camellia making using cardboard and various threads, and a wine tasting.
