The Casa do Povo of Jardim da Serra receives financial support from the Regional Government for the organization of the 2026 edition of the Cherry Festival.

This event is considered of great importance for the promotion of rural culture and local agricultural products, serving as a pillar for the economy and traditions of the Jardim da Serra parish.
The support reflects the Regional Government's strategy to value associations and rural development, ensuring the viability of initiatives that promote the territory and the Madeiran agri-food sector.

Licensing is conditional on compliance with the functional, environmental and regulatory measures set out in the project.
The Regional Government approved grants of up to €6,000 for MARIOFA - Festival of Puppetry and Other Animated Forms, and up to €60,000 for the EHF Champions Cup 2026. The agreements support events planned for Funchal, Calheta and Porto Santo.
