About us
With more than 600 events with over 10,000 participants, we at Expats & Locals Cascais are excited to meet you.
We are a community-driven group, but what does that actually mean? To us, it represents the many different cultures we bring together. Locals, tourists, and expats alike have all their place here, each member friendly and eager to share their experiences and culture with the next. And with the number of events we participate in, there’s no doubt that you’ll find your place in our community.
Over the past year, our organizers and regulars have become avid enthusiasts of all things Cascais and meet often to enjoy the many beautiful things one can find here. We have all personally made great friendships through this group, and creating spaces where people can connect is a true passion project for us. No matter where we find ourselves, we keep the environment welcoming and friendly to all. To us, there is nothing more important than creating a space where good conversations can lead to ever better friendships.
So, whether you’re looking for a casual gathering of strangers and friends, or if you’re looking for company in an upcoming holiday or event, you’ll find us there.
See you soon!

The Midweek Mingle is only getting bigger. Come solo or bring a friend. This meetup is queer friendly; everyone is welcome here.
Venue: FIARTIL
Av. Amaral, 2765-192 EstorilHow to find us: You can find us inside in the middle stretch of the venue, typically at a larger table near the bathrooms. Look for our printed MeetUp sign.
About the venue: The FIARTIL is an Estoril landmark immersed in nature, most often used for various initiatives and events, the most notable of which is the Estoril Craft Fair, which will be taking place from the 26th of June to the 23rd of August this year. There are plenty of food and drinks available, and most importantly, tables to sit and chat in.
Guidelines for the event:
1.) Respect the RSVP
A lot of time and energy go into making the Midweek Mingle happen. From organising to making the experience great for everyone, this truly is an event that comes from our hearts. As such, we kindly ask that if you’ve RSVP’d, you honour it. If you’re running late, no worries! Just know that once the event has started, it is slightly trickier for us to communicate or step away from the group.2.) Feedback, not reviews
As it is our goal to make this event better with every meetup, we prefer to use a more effective space to receive and engage with feedback. If you have any feedback you’d like to give, use the link below to reach out through our WhatsApp community, since that is where we are most active.Check out our Instagram!
We look forward to meeting you soon.
