Andanças 2028: Traditional Dance and World Music Camp in the Alentejo

Welcome to Andanças 2028 in Reguengos de Monsaraz

Andanças is an international festival of traditional dance and world music organized by the PédeXumbo association since 1996. In recent years it has taken place in the small village of Campinho, in the municipality of Reguengos de Monsaraz in the Alentejo, close to the Alqueva reservoir. After a longer break, the festival is set to return to its established two year cycle in 2028.

Highlights and Attractions at Andanças in Campinho

• More than 60 traditional dance styles from Portugal, Africa, Europe and the Americas to learn and try
• Workshops and dance balls led by more than 80 international facilitators
• A varied music program across several stages set right in the village
• A dedicated area for children and families with its own workshops and activities
• A strong focus on sustainability and community, built together with the residents of Campinho
• Market stalls offering regional crafts as well as food and drink from local vendors

Program and Schedule: What to Expect in 2028

Andanças traditionally runs over several days in August, combining daytime dance workshops with evening concerts and balls. A dedicated children's area with its own family program is also a regular feature. The exact dates and full program for 2028 had not been published at the time of research, since the organizer paused the 2026 and 2027 editions and plans to bring the festival back only in 2028.

Tickets and Admission for Andanças 2028

Previous editions offered different ticket options, including single day tickets and a general pass with unlimited re entry for the whole festival, with discounts such as free entry for young children. Specific prices for 2028 have not yet been announced by the organizer and will be added here once they are officially published.
