Long is the White Night in Braga – Overview

Carminho is one of the names will go through the main stage, in the gardens of the Town Hall Square in Braga

those parties where we can not control the invitations and a crowd just to knock at the door? The White Night of Braga began in past editions, to be just that, only one night, but the accession of the population of outsiders, institutions and local trade was such that, from year to year, the organization (in charge of Braga municipality) became more ambitious. In 2016, the party will reach the 48 hours of this Friday, 2, and Sunday, 4, and will have more than 70 shows in a whitewashed collective celebration. “It is a mark of the city,” says Ricardo Rio, Mayor of Braga.

The music will have a generous slice of programming. On the main stage, in the gardens of City Hall Square, will go Carminho, Miguel Araújo, the HMB, The Gift, and Jorge Palma and Sérgio Godinho, in concert together. For other sounds, it is head to GNRation stage, with concerts Boogarins, dj Midnight, Branko (one of the founders of Buraka Som Sistema), of Linda Martini and the Chilean producer Matias Aguayo. Interaction with visitors is usual in the program, with the spectators invited to explore the soundscapes of the city to join a virtual jazz band or orchestra bells. Some of the institutions and most significant monuments of Braga, as the Cathedral, the Nogueira da Silva Museum and the Museum Pius XII, engage in party and get doors open into the night, with free guided tours. And to the city center of trade participates with windows to dress in white for the occasion.

In this issue, the proposals for children have been strengthened, creating a play space in Largo Pópulo with workshops, workshops and sessions tales, narrated by Saphir Cristal. The streets, the animation will be a constant, with markets, facilities, new circus shows and music charts. In addition to the restoration installed in the center, there will be a street food area in Largo do Pópulo. To facilitate access, were created three parking lots and a specific line of urban transport Braga to connect to the heart of the party (round-trip tickets for € 1).

White Night program will close at 19:30 next Sunday, 4, with the concert of bells Bracara Augusta, which involves the churches of the historic center and with the participation of 80 popular.
