MARAVILHA FESTIVAL - AT SEA | 12-13 July

The Maravilha Festival is back on Faial Island from July 12 to 13.

This time, the meeting point was the Atlantic Ocean, trading solid ground for the undulation of the sea, between the waters of Porto Pim Bay and the interior of Horta Harbor, which remains full of sailboats and catamarans.

On July 12, at 9 PM, the Honky Tonk Sailing Band gave a concert that could be seen on Porto Pim beach.

On the 13th, the festivities were highlighted by a concert from Noiserv (Lisbon, Portugal), one of the most innovative Portuguese musical projects of today, where the audience was invited to watch from any vessel: boats, sailboats, kayaks, rafts, SUPs, boards, buoys, or even inflatable flamingos.

But this festival isn’t just about music. Soizic Seon (France/Belgium) painted a mural during Maravilha, in the parish of Capelo. In Porto Pim Bay, the artist Joana Bértholo (Lisbon, Portugal) installed a floating tale on the Maravilha Raft, which could be read by the more curious visitors. Additionally, two site-specific works by Superlinox (Setúbal, Portugal), who many are already calling the Portuguese Banksy due to his urban nature and social criticism, can be seen on the streets of Faial.

With free admission, diverse programming, and a welcoming atmosphere, the festival offers something for all tastes and ages and reinforces its commitment to inclusion and democratization of access to culture.
