GALA8 Season III will take place in Lisbon on 6 March 2027. Preparation for the next annual edition began soon after the close of Season II. The team is now developing the programme, partnerships and guest strategy for a third season that will continue the project’s international growth. Season I welcomed around 120 guests at Pestana Palace in 2025. Season II moved to Pátio da Galé and brought together more than 500 guests in March 2026. Further details about the venue, programme and access to Season III will be announced gradually. Guests and partners can register their interest through the GALA8 website.

Some evenings speak for themselves. The Stars Online team was there on March 8, and they captured it better than we could have said ourselves. We are grateful for their attention and for this piece. Below is their account of the night, published March 11, 2026. We republish it here with an English translation for our international guests and friends.

GALA8 Season II took place on 8 March 2026 at Pátio da Galé, in the centre of Lisbon. The evening welcomed more than 500 guests from business, culture, design and the creative industries. The guest list included founders, senior executives, artists, designers, public figures and members of Lisbon’s international community. A significant part of the audience travelled from other European cities. The programme combined live music, partner presentations, hospitality and time for conversation across the venue. Yann Destal from Modjo led the musical programme, while design, watches and jewellery were presented by several of the event’s key partners. Season II followed the first GALA8 edition at Pestana Palace, which welcomed around 120 guests in 2025. The move to Pátio da Galé reflected the growing scale of the project and the wider international audience forming around it.

For GALA8 Season II, Boca do Lobo and KOKET placed selected furniture pieces throughout Pátio da Galé. The collaboration connected contemporary Portuguese design with the architecture and social character of the evening.

Boutique dos Relógios created a dedicated watch and jewellery presentation at GALA8 Season II. Guests were introduced to selected pieces from Breguet, Piaget, Graff and Rosekey throughout the evening.
