MOGA Caparica 2026 — The Annual Electronic Beach Ritual in Portugal
Where to experience a true electronic beach party in Portugal in 2026
At the end of May, Costa da Caparica becomes a place apart.
Sand, ocean, and electronic music align to create a rhythm you don’t just pass through. You settle into it.
Over the years, MOGA Festival has established itself as one of Portugal’s most distinctive electronic festivals, shaped by a unique identity between the Atlantic coast and Moroccan heritage.
MOGA Caparica 2026 Dates
OFF — Free Events
📅 May 27 & 28, 2026
Two days of open events across Lisbon and the surrounding coastline.
IN — Beach Festival
📅 May 29, 30 & 31, 2026

Three days of electronic music on the sand, facing the Atlantic Ocean.
OSL Tip: Arriving in the early afternoon lets you catch the sunset inside the festival and avoid peak-time entry lines.
The MOGA DNA: Light, Dual Tempo & Moroccan Influences
MOGA is not only a night-time experience.
The lineup follows the rhythm of the day, slides into golden hour, and then settles into the night.
The first artists announced for 2026 already sketch this progression:
Ben Böhmer, DJ Tennis, Mind Against, TSHA, Ricardo Villalobos, Mount Kimbie (DJ set), Röyksopp, and more.
MOGA also exists in Essaouira, Morocco, and that origin can be felt in the sound textures and overall atmosphere.
Certain selections and buildups draw from more organic, tribal influences, contrasting with classic European electronic music.
The result is a recognizable identity:
a beach party, yes, but with a sonic color that comes from elsewhere.
Sound & Atmosphere
On an open beach facing the ocean, sound is a challenge.
At MOGA, production has evolved to maintain clarity, clean bass, and balanced diffusion, even in open-air conditions.
An International Crowd, All Profiles Combined
You’ll meet travelers from across Europe, regulars, locals, and sometimes even families in the late afternoon.
This mix of nationalities and generations is part of the festival’s identity.
In previous editions, the program also included, depending on the year:
- daytime chill spaces
- wellness formats and collective movement sessions
- food and creative zones designed as social meeting points
The detailed OFF program for 2026 is released gradually by the organizers.
The Boat Party: A MOGA Signature
Among the formats that have defined past editions, the boat party stands apart.
Sailing along the coast, open-air music, the Atlantic horizon, and a limited crowd.
It’s a different scale of the festival: more intimate, more mobile, more contemplative.
For many, it becomes a highlight of the stay, often placed as a bridge between the OFF events and the full-scale beach festival.
Details and access for the 2026 boat party are announced closer to the event by the organizers.
