Short Description:
The Sexta 13 Festival in Montalegre transforms the superstition of Friday the 13th into a unique cultural event known as the Noite das Bruxas (Night of the Witches), blending ancient folklore with theatrical performance, immersive technology, and sustainable tourism practices. Its key strength lies in revitalizing a remote rural area through a creative, community-led celebration that merges tradition with innovation while respecting environmental limits.
