Village festas rarely have a website — and almost never a fixed date. They live in people's heads: "the weekend after Santo António", "always the last Sunday of August". Jakadi is where that knowledge gets written down, checked by the people who actually go, and remembered for next year. DISCOVER FESTAS NEAR YOU • Browse a live map or list of upcoming festas, romarias, feiras and festivals around you — or search any town, concelho or region. • Filter by category (wine, music, religious, fairs…) and by date. DATES YOU CAN TRUST • Every date shows a confidence level: confirmed by locals, estimated from history, or found by AI and awaiting confirmation. • See who confirmed a date and when. One tap to confirm it yourself if you know it's right — that's how the whole community stays accurate. FOLLOW WHAT MATTERS • Follow the festas you care about and get notified when their dates are confirmed or change. • Follow friends and see which festas they're going to. GIVE BACK • Add a festa only you know about — a village feira, a chapel romaria — and it's remembered for everyone, every year. • Answer questions, add photos, and build your reputation as a local expert. Jakadi is free, with no ads. Made for Portugal's festa culture, in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish.
