Art & food fest: Tile painting workshop

Paint your own piece of Portugal. No art experience needed — just bring your creativity and leave with a hand-painted tile to take home. Perfect for anyone looking for creative workshops in Amsterdam, a taste of Portuguese culture, or a fun food-and-drink event with a hands-on twist.

Saudade Swap

Bring a dish, swap something, feel a little less far from home. Saudade Swap is Definitely Tuga's creative twist on the classic swap party — part potluck, part clothing/item exchange, built around saudade, the Portuguese feeling of longing for home. The Saudade Swap embodies the spirit of generosity and creativity, as it encourages participants to engage with one another in a meaningful way.
