Just as barnacles spend their lives clinging on to the hull of ships, surfers live theirs clinging on to their boards, gliding
over the waves. They are Gliding Barnacles.
Welcome to a realm where surf, creativity, music and art collide.
Visit us for the 2024 Edition from September 18th to the 22nd at Figueira da Foz, Portugal.

ABOUT
Gliding Barnacles is a non-profit surf-art-music event that happens every summer at Figueira da Foz, a small coastal town in
Portugal.
We started it in 2014 to affirm Figueira da Foz as a place of excellence for surfing (classic longboard, in
particular) and to showcase surfing as a form of artistic expression. This desire to connect the ocean to the city in one event
managed to transform what was a peripheral place - Cabedelo Beach - into a space that challenged its limits and that has been
bringing together, annually, the four corners of the world through the culture of the ocean, art, music and gastronomy.
We
have always wanted to be more than just a festival, more than just a meeting point. Our purpose is to bring people together in a
meaningful way. We want to be the catalyst for creative connections and foster a community of like-minded individuals.
