The culture department of the municipality of Fafe, in the Braga district of northern Portugal, programmes the town's public venues: the Teatro Cinema de Fafe, for which it issues an annual season, the municipal library, the Sala Manoel de Oliveira, the Estação Memória and a cluster of small museums given over to straw work, printing and rally driving. Touring orchestras appear on that season, an Orquestra do Norte concert in May 2003 among them.
