This will be an edition full of new features and is expected to reach the numbers of the previous edition, which brought more than 56,000 people to Serralves, the highest number ever, the result of the involvement of LIPOR's associated municipalities and the various founding municipalities of Serralves and the response from schools and families and children who flocked to Serralves Park during the week.

The BioBlitz is a reference pedagogical and scientific event in the field of education and awareness of Biodiversity, which showcases the fauna and flora of Serralves Park, through the exploration of scientific and artistic methodologies and with a contemporary narrative that integrates the Sustainability Agenda, based on the aims of the Sustainable Development Goal of the 2030 Agenda, "Protect Life on Earth" and the United Nations Conference on Biodiversity COP16.

Throughout the days, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in various exhibitions, scientific and pedagogical workshops, thematic visits, field trips with researchers and experts, independent activities and many shows that will fill the different areas of the Serralves park.

This is a unique opportunity to get to know the biodiversity of Serralves Park, through a diverse program and free of charge!
