Bairro Norte (North Quarter) is a neighourhood of the Portuguese city of Póvoa de Varzim. it is the most densely populated district of the city, it is also a beach resort.
Bairro Norte developed at the beginning of the 20th century with streets parallel to the sea, resembling Bairro Sul. It became a beach resort and became very urbanized (the most populous area with high buildings, but some areas kept traditional Portuguese houses and small streets). This neighbourhood has triggered the development of neighbouring areas, such as Agro-Velho, Barreiros, and Parque da Cidade.
The main festivals of the neighbourhood are the Senhora do Desterro Festival with flower carpets in the most traditional neighbourhoods streets and Bairro Norte Saint Peter's festival.
The central area of the neighbourhood will give rise to a new tower and neighbourhood's urban centre after the displacement of a rope-making factory.
