In October, Tomar hosts the Santa Iria Fair, which has been held annually in the city since the 17th century.

The festival lasts several days, including October 20, the date dedicated to the town's patron saint. On that day, the image of Santa Iria is carried in procession, with the presence of a large number of children from the municipality's schools, who throw petals into the river, evoking her martyrdom. In addition to the religious aspect, the entertainment is another of the event's highlights and brings to the stage some of the most popular names in Portuguese and local music, with a wide range of genres, attracting all types of audiences. There will also be plenty of history, entertainment, gastronomy, commerce, art and culture. This event is a true harmony between tradition and innovation, providing a complete experience for all visitors.
