Well you have the Santos Populares or Popular Saints coming up in June in Lisbon and São João feasts in Porto. You have the Flower festivals in the Island of Madeira.

During the summer months its hard to travel through Portugal without a festival of some sort because its the time of the year that the portuguese that work across borders come back to spend the hollidays. So there's always a lot of action there. Also there are some rock festivals like; Super Bock Super Rock, Optimus Alive and Rock in Rio. Whenever football comes to Portugal it's called; O Festival do Futebol" (The Festival of Football). We also celebrate the carnival.

There are plenty of festivals and festivities in Portugal, mostly regional, and some national; here are some of the most famous ones in and outside portugal:

Queima das Fitas (Coimbra)

Festa dos Tabuleiros (Tomar)

Carnaval (mostly celebrated in Figueira da Foz, Ovar, Loulé and Torres Novas), though every city celebrates it.

Santos Populares (they are celebrated massively in Figueira da Foz, Porto and Lisboa)

Wikipedia has a list of Portuguese festivals, by the way.
