Here we are again! The time when countless shades of green sprout again and cover the empty spaces of the landscape around us, when sounds multiply in arrhythmic symphonies, when the time between each sunrise and sunset expands, and when we celebrate 6 years of AkRatxs in these Alentejan lands.
On the 4th and 5th of April we enjoy ourselves and celebrate our journey of learning as a community, we celebrate self-management and reafirm our disdain for capitalist practices, we celebrate care and mutual support and contemplate the mistakes along the way, we celebrate the sharing of experiences and knowledge, and we long for a new way of being, and so, we celebrate among ourselves and with you!

We will have a super compact and complete program this year. And to do this, we are proposing a minimum daily donation of 5-10 euros to cover all transportation costs, as well as raise funds for the project.
But as always, don’t hesitate to come if money is an obstacle, there is room for everyone.
If you are interested in participating and helping organize this event, we are very excited to have you here!
We’ll start preparing around a week before, so text us and come earlier!

Food & Shifts

We will have food & drinks for sale throughout the event. We count on your support here too.
There will be open shifts for tasks such as cooking, bar, welcome team, care team, cleaning, etc. Registration for shifts will be open in the days before and during the anniversary. If you want to help us, send an email, a message on signal or sign up during the festival.
If you have any dietary restrictions, please contact us in advance.

Accommodation & equipment

We do not have enough facilities to accommodate everyone inside, so we ask that you come prepared to camp. Bring a tent, sleeping bag, mattress, flashlight, and anything else that will make you more comfortable :)
If camping is not an option for you or you need equipment, let us know in advance and we will find a solution with you.

How to get here?

By car: you send us an email or message on Signal to access the location
By transport: you have to take a bus on the express network, to Montemor-o-novo. Then you will need a ride from the station. Let us know and we’ll arrange to come and pick you up.
Car-rides: Use the signal group or email

Non-human friends

If possible, leave your dog companion at home.
If not, let us know and come prepared so that other humans and non-humans are safe and calm throughout the weekend.

Here we’ll be for a toast
