The Original White Festival – Festa Branca 2026 returns to Quinta Calaça, at Clube Naval do Funchal, on the 12th of September, following the success of last year’s sold-out event.
Beginning at 18:00, the celebration promises an atmospheric evening of music, food and entertainment beside the Atlantic. The event is organised by Clube Naval in partnership with Enseada Food and Drinks and the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel.
This year’s musical line-up features DJs Vítor Freitas, OXY and SIL, alongside a live performance by Leonardo Sousa. Designed to appeal to several generations, the music will continue until 01:00.
A new addition for 2026 is the Lounge Zone at the Naval Beach Club, where guests can enjoy drinks and light snacks. It will complement the Street Food Zone, featuring dishes from Tipografia Restaurante, the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel and Enseada Food and Drinks.
As tradition demands, white is the mandatory dress code, transforming Quinta Calaça into an elegant all-white setting overlooking the ocean.
Tickets cost €10 and will be available from the 20th of August at the Clube Naval do Funchal Sports Complex, its main office, and the Castanheiro Boutique Hotel.
Admission is free for Clube Naval members, but tickets must be collected in advance.
