SURF
Inspired by the surf from the 50s, 60s and 70s, we’re aiming to create a non-competitive environment that empowers surfing as a form of art and artistic expression.

2019
We are happy to welcome you again to our little town: Figueira da Foz. From the 28th of August until the 1st of September this year we will be sharing waves with live music in the background. We’ll be eating local food while enjoying all forms of art from emerging artists. We’ll be sharing sustainable ways of keeping our beaches and climate healthy. But mostly, we’ll be focusing on one thing: making sure you leave Gliding Barnacles saying ‘this must be the place’.
ART
"Art is the love I apply in whatever I do.” Gliding Barnacles is a melting pot of cultures, perspectives and ideas; seasoned with creativity; fuelled by art as a form of self-expression.
MUSIC
Out of the box. Expand your horizons with our eclectic and selective taste of music. From crowdsurfing to chilling at the beach, music will follow you everywhere you go during Gliding Barnacles.
Gastronomy
The happy to our ness. You can’t think of Portugal and not call to mind the delicious food. Our goal is to invest in biological and local products whilst making our traditional food known. Is your mouth watering yet?
SUSTAINABILITY
The overuse of resources is more than just a trend: it’s an urgent concern. Our commitment is to reduce our ecological footprint and, with your help, become a role model to the future generations.
