Everything the announcement says

Every detail, as the festival announced it.

New in Seixal (Tiago Alexandre, 07/03/2024): At this festival you can eat a menu of soup, bifana and dessert for 5€. The Festival de Sopas comes for the first time to the Mercado Municipal do Seixal, with a charitable side.
Sopa juliana, caldo verde, sopa de nabiças, sopa de grão e cebola, creme de legumes, sopa de feijão, creme de cenoura, canja rica de galinha, sopa grão com espinafres and sopa de ervilhas: all these will be on offer at the Festival de Sopas of the Mercado Municipal do Seixal, on 9 March, after 19:00.
Entry is not free. Each person pays 5€, which includes a soup of choice, a bifana in bread and a dessert. This is not an event about restaurants or associations: the organisation and service are by the cub scouts (lobitos) of Agrupamento 253 de Escuteiros Marítimos do Seixal, Alcateia 40.
Section leader Carina Carvalhosa: in scouting they work for the education of young people through a system of values; in August this year there will be a large regional scout activity, ACAREG; whenever activities require a greater financial effort from families, the principle is that the children develop projects to raise funds, which teaches them to work to reach their goals.
The 1st Section, the Alcateia, is made up of children aged six to nine and depends on help from families and group leaders. All soups and snacks will be homemade, bringing family flavours and recipes, and there will be a vote to elect the winning soup.
There will also be snacks (petiscos) and desserts, cooked by the children's mothers and grandmothers. Doors open at 19:00 and the space is enclosed.
Alongside fundraising and socialising, the aim is to bring more life to the Mercado Municipal do Seixal, which after some difficult years following the opening of large retail outlets in the area has been growing; events like this add value by bringing new ideas to use and promote the space.
The event has the collaboration of the União de Freguesias do Seixal. All Seixal residents are invited to discover the flavours and help raise money for the children of Agrupamento 253.

First edition, run by the cubs of the 253 scout group to fund a regional scout camp in August 2024. Ten soups were on offer (juliana, caldo verde, turnip-top, chickpea and onion, bean, carrot cream, chicken canja, chickpea with spinach, pea and vegetable cream). Entry cost 5 euros for a soup, a bifana and a dessert.

How to read festival information

We work to keep festival information right, but festivals are run by others and details change. Here is how to read what you see on SoupFestivals.

Confirmed or expected

A confirmed date was announced for that edition. An expected date, such as "usually held around mid-October", is an estimate based on past editions, not an announcement.

Places can be approximate

We show a map pin and directions only when the venue's location is verified. If it is still unconfirmed, we keep the known venue name and town without a pin.

Check before you travel

Dates, prices, menus and venues can change, and festivals can be cancelled. Always confirm with the organizer before you go. If their information differs from ours, theirs is the one to follow.

Help us keep it right

If something looks wrong, tell us and we will look at it. Organizers can claim their festival page to send us updates.
