Editor's Note

Welcome to the second issue of the Marvilla Journal. June is when Lisbon properly arrives at itself: the river warms up, the smell of grilled sardines drifts down every street, and Marvila has its own front-row seat to the city's loudest month.

This preview follows what is walkable from the neighbourhood: Poster Mostra across the streets, the Bombeiros do Beato e Penha de Franca arraial, Rock in Rio at Parque Tejo, and the Marchas Populares moving through Lisbon on the night of 12 June.

The Marvilla Journal, Issue 02

June turns Marvila louder and slower at the same time. The afternoons stretch, the bougainvillea is at its most theatrical, and posters have just gone up along Rua Amorim and Largo do Poço do Bispo. Santo Antonio brings the whole city out for two nights, the local Arraial runs all month, and Rock in Rio is a fifteen-minute walk away. Here is what we would put in your diary.

Poster Mostra in Marvila
Street Art

Poster Mostra
11th Edition

From 30 May  ·  Up through summer

Rua Amorim and Largo do Poço do Bispo, Marvila

Open-air exhibition

Forty large-format posters have gone up across Marvila for the eleventh edition of Poster Mostra. The neighbourhood becomes the gallery: industrial walls, corners, bus stops and walks you already know, reframed by graphic work made for the street.

Arraial Marvila
Neighbourhood

Arraial Marvila

30 May to 28 June  ·  Evenings

Bombeiros do Beato e Penha de Franca

Local festa

The local firefighters host the neighbourhood's Santo Antonio month: bifanas, beer, music and the whole street dressed for June. It is Marvila's version of the Lisbon summer ritual, close enough to make a last-minute evening of it.

Rock in Rio Lisboa
Festival

Rock in Rio
Lisboa

20, 21, 27, 28 June  ·  Parque Tejo

Around fifteen minutes on foot from Marvila

Ticketed

Rock in Rio is back at Parque Tejo for four nights. It is close enough for Marvila to feel the shift in rhythm: bigger crowds, late trains, the eastern riverfront humming after dark.

Rua Capitao Leitao 94, Marvila

Walk-in  ·  Larger groups by email

Dois Corvos was the first brewery to take a chance on Marvila, and it has earned its local-favourite status. Seventeen taps brewed metres from where you stand, a kitchen that runs from snacks to a proper plate of food, and a room that fills without effort.

Longer days at
Marvilla House

The Marvilla House programme keeps the project's presence in the neighbourhood while construction continues on site. Across spring we hosted talks, wellness mornings, art openings and open evenings. June leans into longer days and outdoor moments, with details and RSVP going to community members first…
