Changes to the payment schedule for the decorative lights and fireworks show for the 2026/2027 and 2027/2028 Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations have been approved.
The Regional Government has rescheduled the budgetary charges for two contracts related to the New Year's Eve celebrations in Funchal. The changes aim to adjust the distribution of payments across the 2026, 2027, and 2028 fiscal years.
The decisions were made through two ordinances published in the same supplement of the Official Journal:
These changes ensure the continuity of funding for two central components of the festive program in the capital of Madeira, guaranteeing their execution for the next two festive cycles.
Three Madeiran cultural entities will receive financial support to compensate for VAT incurred on expenses for instruments, uniforms, and consumable materials in 2025.
The Government Council rectified a previous resolution to correct information on seating capacity and athlete distribution for the 2026 Autonomy Padel Tournament.
The Autonomous Region of Madeira will financially support the production of a Traditional Nativity Scene, an animated short film, and a series of three Baroque music concerts.
