Running from 5.30pm to 9pm, the event promises an unforgettable evening filled with live music, delicious food, creative workshops, and community connection — all set against the backdrop of a beautiful summer sunset.

Organised by Lighthouse Portugal, and supported by the Portimão City Council, CICE Macau, ESOSA, and the Portugal Charity Network, this initiative aims to unite people of all ages around a shared purpose: supporting access to education for underprivileged communities.

A varied programme to suit all tastes

A culinary highlight of the evening will be the Pizza Masterclass led by renowned pizzaiolo Chef André Andrade, who will share his skills and techniques with participants.

The musical programme includes performances by AC Raps, the dynamic energy of Midnight Club, the rhythmic beats of Batukids, and an Open Mic segment for emerging local talent.

Adding to the atmosphere, visitors will enjoy a local artisan market, a vintage pop-up shop, and interactive workshops. A wide selection of healthy beverages, regional delicacies, and mocktails will be available, creating a relaxed and festive setting for the whole family.

A Cause That Matters

While the event is free to attend, guests are encouraged to bring 1 kg of non-perishable food or make a voluntary contribution. All donations and proceeds will support educational and social projects in Portimão and communities in Africa.

This is more than just a community gathering — it's an invitation to come together, make memories, and make a difference.
