music meeting festival
Between a Peruvian charango, a Korean drum, and a dance floor in Nijmegen lies something universal: encounter. Between creators and audience. And worlds that find each other in rhythm, words, and sound. Music allows people to understand each other. That is why Music Meeting exists: a multi-day festival with concerts, stories, films, workshops, and encounters. In Nijmegen. Since 1985.

FATT Festival
2026-08-27 10:00 - 2026-08-30 20:00 (Europe/London) | Ribeira do Ruivo, São Teotónio (Odemira, Portugal)., Ribeira do Ruivo, São Teotónio, Odemira, 6730-174, Portugal
The Festival of Didgeridoo – FATT 2026 is going to happend in Ribeira do Ruivo, São Teotónio (Odemira, Portugal).
A new beginning!
First of all, our team would like to thank you for the support we have received over the last 22 years of APD’s life. It has been a fantastic journey and we are always proud to share the magic of our events with you.
We never gave up and during more than 16 editions of FATT we held events in places that were provided to us or rented by entities, but something we never managed to do was develop a site from scratch and make it grow every year. In all previous editions we developed the festival and after a few days, the event ended and we had to “start” everything over again… and we did that for 16 years. This idea has always been against our philosophy, as we want to plant to grow.

Fortunately in 2024, we will make the dream come true, and we start the FATT Land and from now on FATT has a home to grow and explore all our ideas, and we count on your support.
For this edition, we will build everything from scratch and we will guarantee entry for 1000 participants. With this number of participants we were able to develop an event with all the conditions you are used to, then in the next editions we will increase the infrastructure and naturally we will be able to receive more visitors
It’s going to be a very special event and we would like to share this incredible moment and have your support again.
