Eco Festival Azores Burning Summer 2023 Entradas y fechas

ECO FESTIVAL AZORES BURNING SUMMER

August 23, 24, 25 and 26

Ticket paid from 10 years old

The Eco Festival Azores Burning Summer takes place since 2015 at Praia dos Moinhos — Porto Formoso (São Miguel — Azores), a special place, marked by a distinct natural beauty and a legacy of good times experienced by several generations.

The Festival does not intend to be a mass musical event, but an event with balanced access, with reduced environmental impact, which values the quality of the experience on the part of the public and its relationship with the surrounding nature.

The combination of an artistic and cultural program of international dimension with an ecofriendly positioning meets the standards of current demand, meeting an emerging conscious tourism, where non-massified places and commitment to environmental protection are synonymous with quality and sustainability.

Music, cinema, debates, ecodesign, electric vehicles, land art, health and community actions are the ingredients that make this eco festival the perfect combination between nature and its audience.

For 4 days, around 60 regional, national and international artists take to the Festival's three stages. Together they contribute to defining the musical identity of the event, which  include world music, soul, jazz, dub, funk and other styles of black music. The musical direction results from the partnership between Filipe Tavares, founder and director of the Festival, and Adrian Sherwood, host of the event.

On Moinhos beach, the MOINHOS REVIVAL program takes place, which aims to rescue the spirit of an era where freedom, friendship and the cult of good music lived side by side on that beach. The programming, with free access, extends over four days on PALCO NOS with outdoor cinema, Dj sets and concerts that end in jam sessions that connect guest musicians with local musicians. On the last dawn of the festival, the public is invited to go down to the beach to witness the fire installation “Burning Love” and contemplate the sunrise.

In Moinhos park, the main attractions of the lineup are active. The sloping lawn forms a perfect natural amphitheater, the result of the environmental recovery that has been promoted by the Festival’s organisation over the years. In the interval between concerts on the Main Stage, the public heads to the tent set up on top of the lawn to watch the DJ sets on the Tropical Stage. Music and fun are a constant.

In 2023, the organisation of the festival will implement the same accessibility model as in previous editions, with the provision of nearby car parking lots and a reinforced shuttle service with more vehicles and extended hours, which will connect to the beach and Parque dos Moinhos.

The Azores Burning Summer also focuses on cultural, ecological and social aspects.

With the aim of awakening the collective ecological awareness, the organisation implements various measures and practices that lead to a change in behaviour, which in turn results in the reduction of waste and changes in consumption habits. Initiatives such as the ECO MARKET (ecodesign and natural products fair), the EXPO ELECTRIC VEHICLES (exhibition of various models of electric and hybrid vehicles) and the ECO TALKS (debates on socio-environmental themes) mark this aspect of environmental awareness at the festival.

Opening doors to reflection is the purpose of the CINEMA AT THE BEACH initiative, with two open-air cinema nights on the terrace of the Moinho Terrace Café on Moinhos beach. This year, the films “Entre Ilhas” by Amaya Sumpsi about navigation in the Azores archipelago and “Cesária Évora” by Ana Sofia Fonseca about the Cape Verdean diva will be shown.

In 2023, the festival continues with the Community Programs VIVE and HABITAT in partnership with the Parish Council and the community of Porto Formoso.

The Festival program takes place in two venues, at Praia dos Moinhos (beach) with free admission and at the main venue, at Parque dos Moinhos (park), admission is charged (25th and 26th August). Tickets must be exchanged for wristbands at the ticket office, before entering the venue. Entrance is paid from 10 years old. For more information: azoresburningsummer.com
