==== [http://www.hitchfest.org/ HitchFest], Marco de Canaveses, Portugal ====
* Location: in [https://goo.gl/maps/VEjrW2BjrNs Marco de Canaveses] ([[Portugal]] – [[Porto|Porto's]] district), on the Montedeiras Park (Parque de Merendas de Montedeiras) at edge of the small Montedeiras mountains
* Some folks got together to organize a {https://www.facebook.com/events/1862297317342987/ hitchhiking festival ] this year in portugal. For logisitcal reasons (municipality) dates had to change to 2-6 August - which is about traditional HG dates. Some folks suggested this could be this year´s HitchGathering, which the organizers would find awesome (people could come earlier and stay longer then the announced HF dates). The other nice possibility is to have the HG afterwards, and HF as a kinda pre-gathering, where we´d promote the HG and lauch a hitchhiking caravan to get there.
* Concept: Goals and philosophy very close to the HG - a place where hitchhikers can share experiences, skills and inpiration and have fun together. Main differences are: pre-set program of concerts, presentations, workshops (also room for spontaneity), infrastructure, food and handicraft stalls, costs to be covered. It´s a donation-based event.
* Ownership/Permission: public land, municipality is supportive of the event
