Created in 1980, the Gastronomy's National Festival of Santarém has been one of the great standards of the Portuguese gastronomy. The economic crisis and the missing of the Tourism of the Ribatejo Region forced, in recent years, to reduce the size of the event which continues, though, to be one of the most representative in the Portuguese Gastronomy's Events. The Gastronomy's National Festival is now organized by Viver Santarém (escalabitana municipal company) with the support of the Tourism Entity of Alentejo and Ribatejo. This evolution has led also on a progressive bet to work on the festival as an Heritage disclosure of Santarém and taking into account its tourism potential.

Ceia da Silva, the president of the Tourism Entity of Alentejo and Ribatejo, highlights the characteristics that differentiate the National Gastronomy Festival, highlighting also the importance of structuring the tourist products in a region where tourism demand has been growing on a steady way. Just only on last July that increase in visitors was around 30%, record that da Ceia da Silva considers it follows from the work the Regional Entity of Tourism, which she chairs, has been conducting with the Council of Santarém, particularly in gastronomy terms.

The Councilman Luis escalabitano added for each ticket, it is offered a guided visit by the Historic Centre of Santarém, in order to get people to discover Santarém. This is also why the theme of this 35th. National Gastronomy Festival edition of "Discover Santarém while you taste Portugal". The goal is to exceed the 40,000 visitors recorded in the last year's festival.
In Campino's House, located in the city center, there are restaurants / taverns representatives of the different regions of the country. The big thing, is the installation of a 13th themed restaurant, the "Lucky 13", which only will serve dinners by appointment limited to 50 people per meal, delivered to a chef who will change daily (with the exception of the opening day and day Festival closing). The aim is to submit a kitchen based on the traditional matrix of this festival without forgetting the new values of gastronomy.
Square of snacks
Another new feature is an area reserved for small taverns and snacks and strengthening of so-called agroprodutos. The Snack Square will be installed in the cloister's center of the Campino's House, with five pubs, which aim to "recover the tradition of the National Gastronomy Festival", serving snacks from different regions of the country. The space of the archades of the Campino's House will only be occupied with producers, including an area of the Association of the Portuguese Public Entities of Wine, which organizes the 2nd. National Wine Salon.
