Guideline to join the event:
1. Respect to RSVP & Be punctual : We pour a lot of heart, time, and energy into making this meetup happen — from planning to creating a welcoming vibe for everyone. If you RSVP, we kindly ask that you honor it by showing up. It really helps us make the experience great for all.

Try to arrive on time if you can — it helps everyone ease into the evening together. If you’re running late, no worries! Just know that once we get started, it’s a bit trickier for us to keep checking messages or stepping away. If you arrive later, please take the lead in finding us.
Thanks for being thoughtful — it really makes a difference!

2. Feedback, Not Reviews

We truly value your thoughts and ideas — they help us make future meetups even better. Instead of traditional meetup reviews (which often don’t reflect the full experience), we’ve created a more meaningful space for feedback.
If you have suggestions or something you’d like to share, please post it in our WhatsApp community (link above). That’s where we actively listen, engage, and work together to improve things.
Thanks so much for being part of the journey — your input matters, and we appreciate you using the space where it can really make a difference.

🏡🏡 Venue: Cascais Mercado da Vila
R. Padre Moisés da Silva 1, 2754-529 Cascais

How to find us: We'll be at the terrace area within the market boundaries. Look for a table with a meetup tag hanging from one of the umbrella stands.

About the venue: Modernized in 2014, Cascais’ traditional covered market dates from 1952. Its stalls still sell freshly-caught fish and local produce as they did in the old days, but those have been joined by contemporary restaurants and bars.
Visit early in the day for the fresh fish and produce, and return later in the evening or at night for the restaurants and bars. Split into two levels, it has outdoor seating, and the dining options range from seafood to pizza.
The market opens early, at 6:30am. The opening times of the bars and restaurants vary, with some opening for lunch and others only in the evening for dinner. Those businesses also choose their closing times, which are anywhere between 11pm and 2am, depending on the day of the week.

About our community
"Lisbon new expats & locals group"
Hi, I am Anjo, founder of this group. I created this group in 2018. When I started "Lisbon Expats & Friends group" group, My vision was to create an International community that will integrate well with Local norms and culture. We have organised more than 500 events where 10K people participated. We organised and facilitated talk show, hiking, social events ( coffee/drink), picnic, BBQ, board game, business meetup, Big parties ( New Years eve, Halloween, Summer part act.), dining, retreat etc.
Since Lisbon has become "the happening" city of western Europe, the Lisbon Expats & Friends community is growing faster than anyone has expected. The community is bustling. Let's be part of it and make it shine with your gifts.
This group is intended to welcome new expats in town to mingle with old expats and locals. Chat up with experienced expats and locals to get to know more about city life style and how to be an expat in Portugal.
Anyone can join this group. We will try to explore the coolest cafés, restaurants, bars and out-doors in Lisbon.
So if you are living in or close to Lisbon or just arrive in the city to check out for your future home and you would like to go to an event where people/friends socialize, this may be a good group for you. Don't be shy if you are a new arrival in Lisbon. Just come by and chill-out with the coolest people in Lisbon.
