The Festa do Fututo (Festival of the Future) is a community festival that brings art, culture, and environmental awareness to the interior of Portugal. Every contribution makes a difference in keeping alive a project that believes the future is also built in community.
Hello!
We are the team organizing the 3rd edition of the Festa do Futuro (August 1st & 2nd in Souto, Abrantes) .
For several months we have been meeting every week to prepare another edition of this project, which we believe is special for Souto, for the region, and for all the people who participate in it.
The Festa do Futuro is much more than a festival. It's a meeting place for art, community, and the environment. For two days, hundreds of people visit Souto to watch performances, participate in workshops, discover artists, meet local producers, and reflect on the challenges of our time.
In a rural area with limited access to diverse cultural offerings, we want to continue creating opportunities for encounters, participation, and creation for all ages.
Over the past few months we have applied for grants and sought funding to make this edition possible.
But it's still not enough.
Right now we need to raise €5,000 (plus €508.12 for PPL commissions) to realize the program we envisioned for this edition.
If we are unable to raise this amount, we will have to cut back a significant portion of the musical and artistic programming. This means fewer opportunities for the artists involved, fewer visitors, and a reduced impact on the local economy .

The Festa do Futuro generates activity in Souto and the surrounding villages. Cafes, restaurants, accommodations, artisans, and small producers directly benefit from the presence of visitors. This year we will again have an arts, crafts, and second-hand goods fair with no participation fee, creating opportunities for those who live and work in the region.
Entry is free and every euro raised will be invested directly in the Festa do Futuro. We don't make money from the festival .
By contributing to this campaign, you are not just supporting a cultural event. You are helping to keep alive a community project that believes that culture can transform a village, strengthen bonds between people, and create new opportunities for the interior of Portugal.
You are helping us prove that the future is also built here.
Even if you can't contribute financially, sharing this campaign already makes a huge difference.
Thank you for being a part of this story.
We'll meet in Souto ;)
