Save the date: Bossa Market is back in Estoril for another full weekend dedicated to Brazilian culture. On June 6 and 7, head to FIARTIL for a trip to Brazil without ever leaving the coast.
Over two days, Bossa Market delivers a deep dive into the Brazilian universe, bringing together live music, food, art, fashion, wellbeing and a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere. With Portuguese roots and a Brazilian soul, the event celebrates the historical and cultural ties between the two countries in a creative, high-energy setting.
The numbers speak for themselves. Last year’s edition welcomed more than 12,000 visitors, featured 120 brands – from fashion to crafts, not forgetting food – and hosted around 80 artists on the Bossa Stage, with a music programme spanning Bossa Nova, MPB, Samba, Forró and DJs.
More than just a market, Bossa Market is the kind of place you’ll want to linger – discovering new brands, listening to music, tasting flavours and wandering around at an unhurried pace. Here, culture and commerce go hand in hand in a relaxed environment, with a carefully curated line-up that gives space to small and medium-sized businesses and a distinctly Brazilian lifestyle. Sustainability also plays a role, with practices such as reusable materials, waste management and an emphasis on conscious consumption.
Brand applications open from 4 February via the official website, with selected participants contacted by April. Tickets go on sale in March, when the countdown also begins for the announcement of the artists set to take to the Bossa Stage, revealed by May.
Until then, consider this your heads-up: on 6 and 7 June, Estoril switches time zones and moves to the rhythm of Brazil.
