To help provide vital support to our partner projects, ABC is involved in a wide range of events in two different ways:
|
- events which ABC organises
- events where ABC is a beneficiary
|
|
| ABC events |
| |
| So far in 2008 , we have two major events confirmed: Festinho and Cinejungle, with others to follow. |
|
| The Minichill/Festinho music festival |
| |
 -- ----- |
| Since 2005, ABC has held an intimate annual outdoor music festival formerly named 'minichill' and later renamed 'Festinho' to reflect its Brazilian roots. |
 ----- |
This year, on 29th - 31st August, we aim to break through the 1,000 ticket sales barrier and need you to spread the word and come along to join us. |
We have been very lucky to have enormous support: all the artists (bands, DJs and VJs) did it for free; an ABC supporter generously allowed us the use of their land; contacts and equipment at rock-bottom costs, and a fantastic volunteer group to put the whole thing together.
|
| |
how you can help
We are currently looking for sponsors to help make Festinho an even bigger event this year. If you can help in any way please contact us.
You can also help in many different volunteer roles, OR you can simply pay for a ticket, tell all your friends about it and come and have a great weekend. |
