A Spectacular Celebration: The 25th of April Parade Takes Over Rossio in Lisbon

On April 25, 2025, the traditional parade commemorating the 25th of April Revolution began its vibrant journey down Avenida da Liberdade in Lisbon. The first participants arrived at Rossio around 5:00 PM, an hour and a half after thousands had already set off.

As the sounds of protest songs filled the air, the iconic chaimites that signaled the start of the parade at 3:30 PM made their way to Praça D. Pedro IV in Rossio, greeted by hundreds of eager attendees. At that hour, many participants were still making their way down the Avenida, showcasing the sheer scale of the event.

Throughout the route, the familiar chants of "25 de Abril sempre, fascismo nunca mais" echoed, alongside the revolutionary anthem "Grândola, Vila Morena". This spirit of unity was palpable, with many participants and onlookers proudly holding red carnations as they celebrated the essence of freedom and democracy that the day represents.
