Many people ask us if they can bring their four-legged “walkers” to Andanças 2023. Since we cannot guarantee the construction and maintenance of the Dog Space, dogs must always be on a leash and accompanied by their owners and guardians. They should not be left alone and, although they may be on a leash in the program spaces, they should not remain in the dance areas or stages.

If you have ways to leave them safe and well cared for, taking them to the festival this year may not be the best option!

The Andanças Children’s Space takes place at Sociedade Recreativa Campinhense, in the center of Campinho, and this year programs more than 20 activities for the whole family during the festival! There are four days of circus, stories, dance, movement, music, games and crafts to get the youngest Andantes creating and interacting!
Prepare your energy and the whole family to enjoy the program:
Stories Around Yoga with Magicando! Dramatic Games with Sol Silveira, Origami Workshop with Circo Matemático, A Family of Socks with Miminhos, Brazilian Songs and Toys with Alex Lima, Wheel Dances and Danced Games with Deborah Kramer, Felting Workshop with Mariana Pimentel and Vera Mendonça, Bioconstruction Workshop with Debarro Arquitetura, The Movement in my Body with Corpo Abstrato, Open Circus Workshop with Circo VagaMundo, Mathematical Games with Circo Matemático, Emotions that Dance with Inês Maria Silva, Brinque/Play – Intervention with Alex Lima, Circo Matemático Show, “O Modesto Augusto” – Clown Show with Circo VagaMundo. You can already check the updated program here.
This year Andanças also has the partnership of Rádio Zig Zag that will bring a special Andanças edition and a lot of animation for restless feet!
From July 27 to 30, come have fun with your family in Campinho!

At Andanças, after lunch, we take a break from the program which lasts until the end of the afternoon! During the hours of “great calm”, as they say in Alentejo, we will slow down!

The Transfer Alqueva takes participants who do not have a car or a bicycle to take a dip in the River Beach of Monsaraz. The Transfer Alqueva runs from July 27 to July 30, departing from Largo do Relógio in Campinho at 2:45 pm and returning at 5:15 pm. Here is a suggestion for swimming in the waters of Alqueva.

This year Cicloficina dos Anjos once again joins the Association PédeXumbo for sustainable mobility, to hold the 5th edition of Pedalanças.

Pedalanças is a bicycle journey to the Festival Andanças, promoted by Cicloficina dos Anjos in partnership with the Association PédeXumbo, which gives logistical support to those who want to travel to the festival in a sustainable and fun way. It is open to everyone, with prior registration, and ideal for those who want to experience bicycle travel for the first time, with smooth daily stages.

As usual, Cicloficina dos Anjos (CdA) will support those who are cycling between Lisbon and the Andanças Festival, which will take place this year in Campinho (Reguengos de Monsaraz).

It is foreseen that the trip will take place on the 23rd, 24th and 25th of July, so CdA will try to provide sleeping and social places to the “pedalantes”, and will ask “in due time” to those interested to sign up for this support.

At Pedalanças, bonds and a spirit of mutual help will be created around the bicycle, between the more experienced participants and those who explore for the first time this way of traveling. During 3 days of cycling, CdA will only provide mechanical support, advice on routes and places to rest and sleep for those who come by bike to the festival Andanças – the responsibility for any damage that may occur during the journey, lies entirely with each traveler!

Anyone interested in participating in Pedalanças 2023, can fill in the registration form which will be available on the site, or write to us through the email pedalancas@cicloficina.pt.
