About Bi Fest
Bi Fest is a community-based, volunteer-run, and non-profit event. It’s an initiative by Bialogar (Bisexual Visibility collective and podcast – learn more at: bialogar.pt/en ), in collaboration with several LGBTQIA+ associations and collectives, allies, small businesses, and others.
Bi Fest aims to celebrate Bisexual+ Visibility in Portugal (Yes, islands included!) in September, as it is the month in which Bisexual Visibility Day is celebrated (September 23).
Bi Fest includes events like:
- Bi+ Visibility Exhibition (a partnership between ILGA Portugal [CDOC and GRIT] + Bialogar + Bi Mosaic);
- Short Films’ Sessions;
- Parties;
- Quizzes;
- Game Nights/Evening;
- DnD Sessions;
- Talks;
- Literary Gatherings;
- Picnics;
- Workshops.
The 2026 edition is on final preparation stage, with event dates and locations starting to come out on August 7th and beyond.
