Prior to departure, connect with your fellow travelers during a series of exclusive virtual meet-and-greet sessions. Vibe with your EBST Travel Fam, review trip details, prepare for your experience, and receive your curated Afro Nation festival themes designed to celebrate connection, culture, and community.

Welcome to Lisbon—a city of golden light, soulful melodies, and timeless charm, where every corner tells a story. Settle into your overnight haven before an afternoon stroll through the city’s colorful districts. After sunset, gather with the EBST Travel Fam for a traditional Fado dinner experience, raising a glass to Portuguese heritage, global connection, and Black excellence.

After breakfast, travel south to Portugal's stunning Algarve coastline and begin your coastal escape. Spend the afternoon indulging in the resort's amenities or relaxing by the pool before preparing for an exciting evening. As the energy builds, showcase your first festival theme before heading to Afro Nation, where your 3-Day VIP Pass grants exclusive access to world-class performances, premium viewing areas, and an electrifying atmosphere beneath the summer sky.

Ease into your morning with free time to indulge in the resort, stroll the golden beaches, or simply recharge after the previous night's festivities. Whether you choose a leisurely lunch overlooking the Atlantic or a refreshing swim, the day is yours to enjoy at your own pace. Continue the celebration with your EBST Travel Fam as you embrace another festival theme and experience another day of world-class performances and global connection

Curate the day to your liking—relax poolside with a cocktail, discover the Algarve’s charming coastal atmosphere, or indulge in a rejuvenating spa treatment. Represent your final festival theme before joining your EBST Travel Fam for the night’s festivities. This evening marks the culmination of Afro Nation, where international artists, vibrant energy, and thousands of music lovers come together for the grand finale. Return to your resort after a night filled with music, connection, and shared moments.

With the festival now complete, today is yours to embrace the Algarve at your leisure. Lounge by the coast, explore local boutiques and cafés, or simply soak in the breathtaking scenery from your resort. However you choose to unwind, savor the region’s laid-back lifestyle and the beauty of your Portuguese escape before departure.

As your Portuguese experience comes to a close, carry with you the rhythms of Afro Nation, the beauty of the Algarve, and the connections shared along the way. Together, these elements embody the culture, community, and soul of EBST.
