A Fogo Island Shed Party

A Fogo Island Shed Party

Fogo’s community of Tilting, with its leaning picket fences and quaint white cottages, could be in Ireland except for the lack of pubs. No fear. Industrious Fogo Islanders create their own pop up pubs, what’s commonly referred to a shed party. Casual gatherings after a day of adventure, this is where island hosts mingle with those from away, hoisting pints, strumming guitars, having a scuff and swally.

A Fogo Island Shed Party really takes place in a shed. No joke.

Memories For The Making

Fogo Islanders know no strangers, only friends they’ve yet to make. A shed party is a great place to start a lifelong friendship

Neighbours and passersby popping in, “just because” makes you wish it was like this back home

Strumming mandolins and guitars, or pounding the ugly stick – it’s all music beneath these star-filled skies
