The festival, celebrating local gastronomy, has been postponed from July to October to provide better comfort and visibility. This change aims to enhance the event's standing as a gastronomic and cultural reference for Baião.
For three days, roasted lamb, baked rice, and Avesso wine will be highlighted. The program includes showcookings, musical entertainment, the presentation of a scientific study and a book on the signature dish, as well as a new initiative dedicated to 'desgarradas' (traditional folk singing).
The festival kicks off on Friday, October 23rd, at 7:00 PM with the opening of the venue and a performance by Andarilhos. On Saturday, October 24th, the venue opens at 10:00 AM, featuring the XX Chapter of Entronization of the Confraria do Anho Assado. The day includes showcookings, one aimed at children, and a performance by Jorge Guerreiro in the evening.
On Sunday, October 25th, the festival opens at 10:00 AM with the presentation of the scientific study and book «Anho Assado com Arroz de Forno: Afectos, História, tradição». A showcooking by Bazulaque will also take place, followed by the Domingo de Desgarradas from 3:00 PM, featuring concertinas and special guests like Daniel Antunes and Soraia Araújo.
Local groups will provide entertainment throughout the three days. The closing of the 20th edition is scheduled for 7:00 PM on Sunday. The full program can be found at https://baiaocomsabor.cm-baiao.pt.
