Alibabar
Event production collective founded in 2015 by young people from Ansião (Terras de Sicó). Events across Sicó, Coimbra and Lisbon.
Story
Alibabar began in 2015 as a bar at the village party in Avelar, run by a group of friends from Ansião. It grew into an event-production collective of about 47 young people, most of them living in the municipality, and became a company in October 2019. Its mission was to promote a Portugal that looks to its roots: parties, sunsets, summer Sundays and New Year's Eves, produced together with municipalities, parish councils and the volunteer firefighters. Its slogan said it all: "Our Energy is our Essence."
