This year's edition of Caminha Medieval takes place between the 24th and 28th of July, in a moment of historical recreation of a medieval fair, with commerce, arts and crafts, entertainment, flavors and eating habits from the Middle Ages. The theme of this edition is "740 years of the granting of the Charter to Caminha".

It was on July 24, 1284 that D. Dinis, King of Portugal, granted the first Charter to the town of Caminha. The town, due to its privileged maritime-fluvial position, soon saw its strategic-military importance recognized, receiving its first charter in 1284.
