Elidium Festival

💌 Hi friend,

A dream we'll dream together, on one clearing in a pine forest.

Two nights. Four stages. One story, scored across hours and places. Three days that will live in your summer long after they're over, and that we'll spend the rest of the year telling each other about.

with love, Elidium team

🗣 Someone wrote this about last year

"Something real, familiar, and cozy. The feeling of a festival without showing off or pretentiousness, but still with good taste. It's the kind of state many people try to reach or market, but usually can't truly create. And here it feels natural, like it just exists on its own."

— Maria, Lisbon

"I searched for this feeling for a long time and found it here — like everyone finally stopped bothering me. And when the outside pressure and judgment become weaker, you start treating yourself with more acceptance inside too."

— Robert, London

🌿 What we're creating

• A gathering of friends and friends-of-friends, in a limited circle
• Three days and two nights at a countryside estate near Lisbon
• Music chosen for this place and these days, told across four stages
• Pine forest, pool, sauna, considered comfort
• Breakfasts from DOMA Bakery, restaurant, food market and bars on site
• A full kids camp running across all three days
• A creative and spiritual program for adults
• Glamping among the pines, and modern rooms in a historic estate

🎶 The music, across four stages

One story from afternoon to dawn, woven through four stages.

It begins on Garden Stage, where the day unfolds. As the sun sets, everyone gathers there. The long warm hours hold the room.

When the light goes, the Main Stage wakes up. Deep grooves under the trees, the heart of the night.

Past midnight, the night splits in two. Secret opens, hidden somewhere in the trees, and Lagar runs alongside it, softer, slower, until morning finds you.

A few more artists, including the headliner, will be revealed closer to the festival.

☀️ A typical day at Elidium

Mornings begin with yoga and breathwork under the pines.

Breakfast at DOMA Bakery, fresh bread, local produce, slow coffee by the water.

The first stage already plays in the afternoon, gentle daylight music to move and make things to. Workshops run alongside, ceramics, perfumery, sculpting, fruit instruments. A tea camp with free tea, 24/7. Hammocks, quiet corners, acoustic sets.

After lunch, pool, sauna, massage, or a quiet hour with a book in the shade.

As the sun starts to drop, everyone drifts toward Main Stage. Sunset here is its own part of the program, and it's the part people keep mentioning a year later.

🌙 Then night

As the light fades, the Forest Stage opens. The pines come alive, the night thickens.

Past midnight, the story splits. Secret opens for those who find it, and Lagar runs softer and longer in parallel.

Toward morning, firelight, someone still dancing, someone already swimming in the pool. Leave when you want. Come back when you want.

🧘 A creative and spiritual program for adults

Every day, alongside the music, a parallel program of practices and workshops. Pick what you want, skip what you don't.

• Body & breath: yoga flow, breathwork, acroyoga, ecstatic dance
• Silence & ritual: meditation, cacao ceremony, sadhu nails, quiet practices by the water
• Hands: ceramics, perfumery, sculpting, clothing repair, dreamcatchers
• Voice & sound: sound journeys, singing bowls, open jam sessions

Full program announced a month before the festival.

🧚 Kids & families

A full kids camp runs across all three days. Not a "kids corner for an hour," but its own parallel program with experienced facilitators and its own schedule.

For kids 6–14: ceramics, perfumery, plaster and fire workshops, dreamcatchers, water battles, sculpting, camp games, fruit music, sound station.

For little ones under 6: a calm zone with parents, a small forest petting area (peacocks, chickens, sheep), free play.

Kids live alongside adults here, not tucked away somewhere separate. It's one of the parts we're most proud of.

👫 Who's coming

People we know, and the people they bring. Founders, creatives, builders, parents, partners. People living between countries, projects, and identities. Many work remotely, build businesses, make art, or grow communities.

International and mixed: Portugal, Europe, the US, and beyond. No festival experience needed. About a third of last year’s guests came alone. Openness and curiosity are enough.

🏕️ Where you'll stay

DOMA is a 4-star countryside estate set across pine forest and gardens near Mafra, a restored historic property with modern interiors and a year-round rhythm of its own.

Everyone stays on site. Modern rooms in the historic wing, or air-conditioned glamping tents among the pines. No shuttles, no off-site logistics.

🍃 Food

Fresh, local produce in rhythm with the seasons.

• DOMA Bakery — breakfasts, fresh bread, pastries, coffee
• DOMA Restaurant — lunch and dinner, local kitchen, vegetarian and vegan options
• Food market on site
• Bars — natural wines, cocktails, herbal infusions, fresh juices, homemade drinks

🔥 Sauna (ATMOS Steam Center)

Sauna rituals, ice and hot baths, massage and treatments. Booked separately from the festival ticket, so it stays a place you go to on purpose, not just an option in a package.

☝️ Good to know

What's included. All four stages, kids camp, daily practices, food market access. Accommodation and sauna are booked separately.

Capacity. Limited circle. We don't grow this.

Coming solo. About a third of last year's guests did. There's a guest chat before the festival to find your people.

🤍 A few honest things

It gets cool in the pines after dark. Bring something warm.

We're a small team running this ourselves. If something goes wrong we'll be there to fix it, and you may also see us behind the bar.

The lineup says "more to come" because it really is. We leave the last slots open until close to the date.
