AgitÁgueda is an annual street art festival held in Águeda, Portugal. The festival, which usually takes place during the summer months, transforms the city into an open-air gallery, showcasing a diverse range of artistic expressions.

Beyond the Umbrella Sky, AgitÁgueda features murals, sculptures, installations, and performances by both Portuguese and international artists. The artworks are integrated into the urban landscape, appearing on building facades, public squares, and alleyways, often engaging with the local environment and community. The festival aims to democratize art, making it accessible to everyone and fostering a cultural dialogue within the city.

Its success has contributed to the revitalization of Águeda and has established it as a notable destination for contemporary art. The festival's ephemeral nature, with artworks often lasting for the duration of the event or for a specific period, adds to its unique appeal. The organization behind the festival seeks to promote creativity and cultural diversity through its programming.
