SHANGRALA'S

UMBRELLA SKY PROJECT!

Agueda, Portugal has many events, parades, flash mobs, concerts and workshops. But, the most important and most beautiful festival in Agueda is by far the Umbrella Sky Project also known as the Floating Umbrella Festival. The Umbrella Sky Project began in 2011.       Each year, during the hot summer months of July, August, and September, the city's streets gain colorful umbrella canopies that provide shade for the people walking through. The streets in the center of town have a kaleidoscopic canopy composed of some 3,000 umbrellas. Hence the name, Umbrella City!       This colorful canopy over the baking hot streets of Agueda in Portugal will not only keep you dry but will certainly put many other art exhibitions in the shade. The sea of umbrellas brings a shower of color over the town's narrow lanes and creates a beautiful scene - while also protecting passers-by from the baking sun.       While they appear to be floating magically in mid-air, the umbrellas are actually held up by string.

Here Are Photos Of This Spectacular Show. Enjoy! :)
