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 HitchGatheringorg, which the organizers would find awesome place and date (people could come earlier and stay longer then the announced HF datesmaybe more). 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 place them at popular hitchhiking caravan to get therespots ... be creative and use your colorful markers!* 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 areDraw your own flyers : 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.* OwnershipSpread the word around hitchhiking clubs and websites in your country/Permission: public land, municipality is supportive of the eventyour language* Food: Dumpster diving should be ok in Marco de Canaveses - needs confirmation.
