LAST EDITION
12 · 13 · 14 - June, 2026
Pousada Mosteiro de Guimarães
For over three decades, the DeRose Festival has been a unique gathering place. Friendships were forged there. Ideas that changed lives. Hugs that will be cherished forever.
Now we return for one final edition. Not as a sad farewell. But as what has always been the spirit of the Festival: celebration. Celebration of a history. Celebration of a legacy. Celebration of everything we have experienced together.
If you have already been part of this history, you will feel this immediately. If you have never been, this is your chance to finally experience something unique.
SINCE 1995: THE FESTIVAL THAT DEFINED A GENERATION
There are phrases that have been repeated over the years:
‘I met people who are now family to me.’
‘That’s when I realised I wasn’t alone.’
‘That’s when something changed in me.’
‘I decided to train as an instructor at the Portugal Festival and it changed my life!’
The DeRose Festival Portugal has never been just an event. It is a gathering of people who share a culture, a lifestyle and a more conscious way of being in the world.
For three days, teachers, students and friends from various countries come together to experience something simple yet rare: immersive time spent together, steeped in the DeRose culture.
Practices. Art. Cinema. Long conversations. Unexpected laughter. Moments that stay with you.
And that is why so many people have returned to the Festival year after year. Because there are experiences that cannot be replicated anywhere else.
WHAT MAKES THIS EDITION DIFFERENT?
For 32 years, each edition has brought new stories, new encounters and new paths. Now we have reached a special moment.
2026 marks the end of this cycle: it is not the end of the story.
It is the closing of a chapter that has touched the lives of thousands of people. And we want to mark it in the only way that makes sense: by celebrating our history together.
