If you would like to experience a typical flavor of Lisbon, we encourage you to stay for the Santo António festival which takes place in the weekend of June 12 - 14. It is famous for its colorful parades through the historic neighborhoods and its long nights of grilled sardines, music and dancing in the streets.
Weather
The weather in June is usually warm and sunny (you can find a forecast here). Remember to bring your sunscreen. Also, make sure to bring shoes with a good grip since Lisbon is a hilly city and the cobblestones can be slippery.
