Porto council confirms: serenade at Aliados, possible Dragão party | OneFootball

Porto City Council has confirmed that the Monumental Serenade will indeed take place on Avenida dos Aliados, marking the start of Queima das Fitas, despite coinciding with the match between FC Porto and Alverca.

“As planned, on the night from Saturday to Sunday, at the first minute after midnight on May 3, Avenida dos Aliados will welcome the chords of guitars and the emotion of the finalists of Porto’s academic community,” the municipality said in a statement sent to newsrooms.

Given the possibility of FC Porto being crowned national champions, the municipality has prepared a plan to ensure “geographical separation” between the two events. The Serenade will remain concentrated in the city centre, while any celebrations by FC Porto supporters will be directed to the area around the Estádio do Dragão.

To guarantee safety and allow timely preparations on Avenida dos Aliados, the traffic restrictions associated with the Serenade will be brought forward to 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2.

At the same time, there will be traffic restrictions in the area surrounding the Estádio do Dragão between 7:30 p.m. and midnight on the same day. These limitations will require the complete closure of traffic on several roads: Alameda das Antas (in both directions), Rua dos Luzares, Rua Ilse Losa, Rotunda do Dragão, Túnel das Antas II, Rua Professor Manuel Baganha and Rua João Marques Pinto.

“This plan aims to ensure safety, mobility and public order, allowing the different events to take place normally and without overlapping flows. Porto City Council, in coordination with the security forces and the other entities involved, will continue to monitor how the situation develops,” the statement concludes.
