- Centro Equestre do Vale do Lima, Quinta da Sobreira, Feitosa, Ponte de Lima. Open Monday-Saturday. Summer 08:00-20:00 and 21:00-24:00. Winter 09:00-19:00. A modern riding centre, in the rural surroundings of Ponte de Lima, with excellent conditions. With 8 hectares, it has a pair of uncovered riding stables and a covered one, a teaching track and 50 boxes. About €15 for an individual riding lesson.
- Feiras Novas, East Margin. Third Week of September. For some, the best time to come to the village is one of the craziest parties in Alto Minho, lasting three days. With parades and numerous popular celebrations, it is one of the last popular festivals of the year. During this time, the village was invaded by literally thousands of outsiders, making traveling through the historic center virtually impossible due to the crowd.
- Feira do Cavalo, Expo Lima, East Bank (at the northern end of Alameda de S. João, near the Chapel of S. João). June July. With race horses and excellent riders, it is one of the most renowned equestrian fairs in the country.
- Festival Internacional de Jardins, São Gonçalo Way, West Bank (going along the Caminho de São Gonçalo from the N306, take the first right, towards the car park (this park pays at Feiras Novas, so it might be a good idea to leave it out and go on foot). The entrance is marked with a large poster.), e-mail: festivaldejardins@cm-pontedelima.pt. May 30 - October 30. Imitating the festival in Chaumont-sur-Loire, France, it features modern gardens from around the world, from Portugal to China.
- Vaca das Cordas. May-June (on the eve of the Body of God). A traditional and characteristic event in Ponte de Lima, dated 1646. The tradition consists of a bull, which, tied by ropes, leaves the Casa do Conde D'Aurora and travels through the streets of the city, until reaching the beach of the river. During the journey, several are those who venture to face the animal.
