Hi
Just wondering if anyone could suggest a city break for a group of 10 friends.
Each year the 10 of us pay into a bank account monthly so that we can go away for 3 nights once a year. For three years we went to Kinsale, Ireland for Jazz Fringe Festival and the last three years we have been to Berlin for the Beer Festival. We are now trying to find somewhere else to go.
We are five couples aged from 43 to 60 who do like to be a little daft and let our hair down a bit but don't really want too somewhere too roudy. We would like to go somewhere that there's something going on and music is always a popular event. We would be looking to go during the summer of 2011.
Have found a fiesta in Barcelona, beer festival in Belgium but am wondering if anyone else has any ideas.
Thanks.
Lisbon during the carnival season - specifically, on the Avenida da Liberdade for the "Marchas Populares" on the evening of 12th June (confirm with Lisbon Tourism but pretty safe since linked to St Anthony's day on the 13th)).
The good news is that this is predominantly a festival for locals so shouldn't jack up hotel prices beyond seasonal norms. Lisbon is fairly easy to reach by low cost airlines and there are plenty of other things to do.

Hi
Thanks for the tip. I'll have to do some research and put it forward at the next "social" meeting (aka we all get together for a few drinks and discuss the trip
!)

I found a video from this year at http://vimeo.com/12590002 - you'll notice that some have rehearsed more than others! Each group is from a different district of the city and each will be having a party later - some seem to have started already!
