Coração Fest 2027 | 4rd Edition Serra da Estrela

Coração Fest 2027

A Summer Gathering of Heart, Music & Living Connection

July 29 – August 2, 2027 | Serra da Estrela, Portugal

For five summer days, we return to the mountains.

To wake up surrounded by nature.
To swim in clear mountain waters.
To dance barefoot under open skies.
To gather around the fire, sing together, share meals, stories and silence.

To slow down enough to truly meet each other.

Coração Fest is an intimate 5-day gathering in the heart of Serra da Estrela, created around music, connection, wellbeing and the simple joy of being together.

Not a festival you simply attend.

A gathering you become part of.

Como As You Are

There is nowhere you need to get to here.

The days unfold between movement and stillness, celebration and rest, shared experiences and time to simply be.

We dance.
We breathe.
We sing.
We sit in ceremony.
We play.
We rest.
We meet around the table and beneath the stars.

Some moments are guided.
Others happen naturally.

A conversation by the water.
A song around the fire.
Children playing nearby.
A dance that lasts longer than expected.
A quiet morning with the mountains.

These are often the moments we remember most.

Our Journey Together

Throughout the five days, you can expect a lovingly curated journey with experiences such as:

• Live music & Ecstatic Dance in nature
• Sacred Cacao Ceremony
• Yoga, meditation & embodied practices
• Singing circles, music & shared prayer
• Sauna & cold plunge
• Time for swimming, resting and exploring the land
• Spaces to connect, create and simply be
• A welcoming environment for families and children

There is space to join in and space to follow your own rhythm.

Because Coração Fest is not only created by what happens on the programme.

It is created by everyone who comes.

Our Home in the Mountains

Vale do Rossim — Serra da Estrela Natural Park

High in Portugal's mountains, surrounded by ancient granite, wild landscapes and the clear waters of Vale do Rossim, we gather once again in a place that has become deeply connected to the heart of Coração.

Here, mornings begin slowly.

Days are lived outside.

Music travels through the mountains.

And when night falls, we gather beneath a sky full of stars.

For four days, this becomes our little village.
