Tremor is a music and arts festival held every year in Ponta Delgada on the island of São Miguel. It usually happens in spring and turns the city into a big stage. Instead of staying in just one park or field, Tremor spreads its programme across theatres, streets, gardens, and even natural landscapes around the island. It’s a festival that mixes concerts with walks, installations, and community projects.

The idea behind Tremor is to connect music, the territory, and its people. You can watch a show at Teatro Micaelense, then catch a bus to go to a secret concert in a greenhouse or a small village, or join a performative hike. Local artists share the programme with national and international names, so you can explore different styles, from jazz to punk. There are also talks, art residencies, and activities that invite the public to participate.
