Forum Braga hosts a week dedicated to national athletics and major stage performances
Forum Braga presents, next week, a programme that combines sports with cultural and entertainment initiatives, reinforcing its position as a leading multifunctional venue capable of hosting high-level competitions and major artistic productions.
Over recent years, Forum Braga has regularly hosted official athletics events, welcoming regional and national competitions promoted by the Braga Athletics Association (AAB) and the Portuguese Athletics Federation (FPA). These initiatives have contributed to the development of the sport, bringing together athletes from different age groups and strengthening Forum Braga’s role as a venue equipped for events with high technical and organisational demands.
The sporting programme this week includes several events with free admission, organised by AAB and FPA: the National Combined Events Indoor Championships (Under-18, Under-20 and Under-23) take place on January 24 and 25, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm; the I Athletic Night, a regional competition, takes place on January 28, from 7:00 pm to 11:30 pm; the 24th Technical Triathlon, a national event, is held on January 31, from 12:00 pm to 8:00 pm; and the National Pentathlon Championships – Veterans, also at national level, take place on February 1, from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

The following day, on February 2, at 9:00 pm, Carmina Burana Aranjuez | Grand Symphony Orchestra and Choir takes the stage, bringing together two universal masterpieces: the Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo and Carmina Burana by Carl Orff. Featuring guitarist Rolando Saad, accompanied by the Grand Symphony Orchestra, the performance creates a dialogue between the brightness of Spanish tradition and the epic choral power of one of the most iconic cantatas in the classical repertoire, inspired by medieval poems and celebrating, with intensity, love, fate and the vitality of life.
With a programme that combines competitive sports, comedy and live music, Forum Braga reinforces, this week, its role as a meeting point for different audiences, languages and experiences, consolidating its position as one of the country’s leading cultural and sporting venues.
