Lincoln Center hands its Broadway-side atrium to contemporary Portuguese artists for two days, mixing dance, short films, writers and musicians. It is a snapshot of what Portugal's creative scene sounds and looks like now, well beyond fado clichés. If you have a soft spot for Lisbon or just want to discover something new, drop in.

What to expect

Friday evening leans toward dance performances, film screenings and live music; Saturday opens at midday with a short film festival, literary programs and musical acts. The atrium is a casual, open space where you can drift in for one set or settle in for several, and the programming is billed as suitable for all ages.

Good to know

  • Take the 1 to 66 St–Lincoln Center; the atrium entrance is on Broadway between 62nd and 63rd.
  • Programming differs by day, so check the schedule for what you want to see.
  • All programs are billed as all ages.
  • Come and go between programs; the atrium is a drop-in space.
  • Pair it with a walk across the main Lincoln Center plaza and fountain.
