Let´s build the FATT Land

Help us and be part of this adventure

Over the past 20 years, the festival has taken place in several locations, always leaving behind a trail of music, culture, and a deep connection between people and nature. If you’ve been following us along this journey, you know that we pour love and dedication into everything we do, always with the goal of offering you the best possible experience.

But we were missing something essential: a permanent home — a space where we could grow in an organic and sustainable way. And so the dream of FATT LAND was born. Support us >

FATT LAND will be created in harmony with nature, with ecological infrastructures and the planting of native trees.

Culture and Art

We celebrate tribal and traditional arts with a special focus on the didgeridoo, promoting transformative moments.

Community

We celebrate the union between the public and the local community through shared experiences, workshops, concerts, and unique moments in harmony with nature.

Do You Know FATT?

The Festival of Tribal and Traditional Arts (FATT) was born in 2002, created by the Portuguese Didgeridoo Association. For over 20 years, it has spread music, culture, and a connection with nature across various locations in Portugal.

In 2024, we took the first step toward something bigger: finding a permanent space where the festival can grow with more comfort, structure, and sustainability. This is how the dream of FATT LAND was born — a magical land in Ribeira do Ruivo (São Teotónio, Odemira), ready to flourish with your help.

Now is the time to build this new phase with permanent infrastructure, shaded areas, ecological toilets, showers, accessible paths, and much more. We believe that together we can make FATT LAND a reality.

FATT is organized by the Portuguese Didgeridoo Association (APD), a non-profit organization that promotes the Didgeridoo and its Australian Aboriginal culture. Organizing a festival like this requires dedication, love, and many resources.

The APD team has fought hard to keep the festival alive, but the truth is we need support to take the next step. FATT LAND is our vision for the future — a space where we can continue to celebrate tribal and traditional arts, promote sustainability, and build a vibrant community.
