The 25th edition of Mimarte marks a historic milestone while boldly projecting an inspiring future. Deeply rooted in Braga, the festival emerges as a bridge between past and future: it honours 25 years of artistic and cultural legacy while challenging the city and its audiences to embrace new possibilities for creation and artistic expression. Under the symbol of 25, this edition of Mimarte celebrates movement, history, and the freedom to imagine the new. Twenty-five years of streets filled with gestures and stories now become the foundation for a festival that not only looks back but also strides forward.

At 25, the festival seeks to be disruptive, opening space for new aesthetics and languages, drawing from the essence of street theatre and giving it new wings, new streets, and new forms. From 1 to 6 July, the festival transcends the format of a mere cultural event, becoming an invitation to experience art in all its dimensions – through performances, conversations, masterclasses, and presentations that awaken the city and foster community participation – turning Mimarte into a platform that promotes a future in which public space is the essential stage for democracy.
