Portugal’s first ever festival of ‘gay and lesbian music, culture and leisure’ will take place in Lisbon later this month.

Slated for 30 July to 2 August, the HOT SEASON FESTIVAL will be organized by Trumps, a major Lisbon gay club.

The festival will feature club nights, beach and pool parties, live act performances and DJ sets from Javier Medina, Taito Tikaro, Lenz Garcia, Jodie Harsh, Alejandro Alvarez, Charlotte Devaney and Steven Redant.

HOT SEASON FESTIVAL will also include at least six guy-focused parties, and five girl-focused.

Marco Mercier, Director General of Trumps, commented: ‘The great European destinations such as Madrid, Barcelona, Mykonos, London or Paris, already have their own festivals for [the gay and lesbian community]. This is the first time that Lisbon will have a festival of this nature. So we are betting on a strong international release of the Hot Season Festival.’
