MARAFADOS INVADE LISBON!20/11/2021 On next Sunday, November 21st, the city of Faro will be deserted: hundreds of citizens are heading to Lisbon to hand in the Book of Candidacy of Faro/Algarve to the European Capital of Culture 2027, at the Palácio da Ajuda/Ministry of Culture. The meeting point will be early in the morning, in front of the Faro City Hall. At 10am a motorcade with dozens of motorbikes from different Motoclubs in the city and several buses will head to Lisbon: "We want this to be a special event, capable of showing the jury which will evaluate Faro's application to be European Capital of Culture, that it is supported by all the citizens of Faro and the Algarve'' - says Bruno Inácio, coordinator of Faro2027. The Faro Philharmonic Association, the Faro Folkloric Group, the Ossónoba Choir and the Urban Xpression group will accompany the delegation and contribute to making it a day of celebration. The associations and entities that have been collaborating in the various projects implemented under Faro2027 project will also be represented, and the aim is to synthesize the spirit of community and participation that has been guiding the work developed in the application process. The Faro2027 team and Faro City Council invite everyone to wish this committee good luck on Sunday morning in Largo de São Francisco, Faro, at 10:00 in the morning. Faro 2027 is not only about culture, it's about much more! Winning the title of European Capital of Culture 2027 means social, environmental and economic development of the city and the region. That development starts now and will be visible for the upcoming 10 years.
