BONS SONS, the renowned Portuguese music festival organized by SCOCS, a local cultural association, takes place annually in mid-August at Aldeia de Cem Soldos in Tomar. This platform is dedicated to bringing forth Portuguese music and acts as an opportunity for emerging projects and established musicians to gain recognition from the public.
BONS SONS is far more than your typical Portuguese music festival - it's an unparalleled experience. In the village of Cem Soldos, multiple stages are constructed within its perimeters to carefully curate programming for each set that seamlessly integrates with its streets, squares, church, and other facilities. Beyond this noteworthy feature, BONS SONS aims to foster a strong connection with its audience by actively involving them in the Festival itself!
The area's citizens extend a warm and hospitable welcome to their visitors, engaging in an unprecedented exchange between those being welcomed and those who are visiting. This creates an unforgettable experience with its musical event. BONS SONS has been uniquely distinguished from other cultural offerings due to its careful selection of programs, its unique venue Cem Soldos, and the involvement of residents within this Festival.
