The National Mills Day celebrations take place in April in the municipality of Sever do Vouga, as part of the Portuguese Mills Route.
The Portuguese Mills Network, with the support of the International Society of Molinology, is promoting the "Open Mills of Portugal" initiative to commemorate National Mills Day on 7 April. The municipality of Sever do Vouga joins this initiative and commemorates National Mills Day with a cultural event, remembering, reviving and valuing customs and traditions.
The event usually includes various activities: a welcome for the "Padeirinhos de Sever do Vouga", Storytelling through the interpretation of the corn cycle and the presentation of local handicrafts, a film screening at the Municipal Museum, a cornbread making workshop, tastings, a walk along the Mills Trail and open mills.
