Fado FestivalNew York

uma canção que se sente

Inaugural Edition · October 2027 · New York & Newark

Every March, New York becomes the world capital of flamenco. Fado — Portugal's living heritage, UNESCO-recognized and globally resonant — deserves the same home. The Fado Festival New York is fado on its own terms: intimate, searching, built on saudade. Nine days. Two cities. One art form, finding its New York address.

The Festival

  • An inaugural program of leading fadistas from Lisbon, presented across Manhattan's most storied venues.
  • An Ironbound edition in Newark, home to the largest Portuguese-American community in the United States.
  • Programmed in dialogue with Museu do Fado and Portugal's cultural institutions.
