The greatest get-together

Loulé white night is an evening of family entertainment where the centre of town turns into a stage for a wide range of performances including live music, parades, street artists, jugglers, fire eaters, human statues, clowns, magicians and a host of entertainers.  Shops are open until late and the windows are decorated in white while the streets become a giant chillout lounge with seating spread around. This is indeed a special evening enjoyed by all generations, residents and visitors that marks the end of the summer season for tourists and where as a tradition the dress code is simply white!
