  This will be the last demonstration of fireworks at the 2022 Festival International D'Art Pyrotechnique and will be handled by SUGYP of Switzerland founded in 1967. They have become a leader in the field of firework displays. SUGYP  Swiss Pyrotechnics actively participates in numerous pyrotechnics events and have won many international prizes such as the Bronze Jupiter (Canada 2016) Pyromagic (Poland 2016) The Hannover Competition (Germany 2014) and The Starbrno Ingnis Brunnensis (Czech Republic 2013)
  

  Theme: "The Gardens of Vesta"

  “Imagine being able to wander freely on a summer’s evening through the gardens of Vesta, the great ancient goddess of fire, to walk through the diversity of her vibrant flowerbeds, to discover with joy the dazzling celebrations at the bend of an alley or to taste the melancholy of a pretty starry bower and to enjoy the laughter of sparkling fountains around luminous Basins"

  Perched in the heart of the old town of Cagnes-sur-Mer, once the home of Renoir on the French Riviera, after touring the medieval Haut-de-Cagnes with an English-speaking guide, we will have lunch at the Château Le Cagnard. This four-star boutique hotel and restaurant will welcome us with Prosecco and a wonderful three-course meal.

  Built in the 13th century, Château Le Cagnard is an exceptional stone dwelling and is a part of the city wall. Its history is closely tied to that of the Château Grimaldi, which dates back to the 14th century. The Guard room in particular, with its arched fireplace, is evidence of its Medieval heritage, a time under which Knights protected the village and its Château.

  Tour guide meeting point and time: Place Grimaldi at 10:45am. Tour starts at 11am promptly and lasts 1 hour.                        

  Apèritif: Glass of Prosecco or wine, mineral water, fruit juice, with savoury assortiments.

  Seasonal Set Menu

   Starter: Semi-cooked foie gras with peach chutney and red onion

  Main Course: Roasted Cod (fish) with basil purée and lemon tarragon emulsion

  Dessert: Raspberry Pistachio Financier

  *** Vegetarian option available upon request ***

  Drinks: Two glasses of wine, 1/2 bottle of mineral water, coffee.
  

  (additional wine can be purchased separately)

  Pricing: Members: 80 euros, Guests: 90 euros

  Dress code: Business Casual (No shorts). Please wear comfortable walking shoes.

  Parking options: Leave your car in one of the car parks in the town centre (58 Square Bourdet) and use the free shuttle "navette gratuite" n° 44, departing every 15 minutes from the central bus station "Square Bourdet", every day, all year round.

• The American Club of Lisbon 75th Anniversary Gala

  • Start
    22-Oct-2022
  •  
    7:30 PM
  • End
    23-Oct-2022
  •  
    1:00 AM
  • Location
    Palácio Estoril Hotel, 2769-504 Estoril, Portugal

  

  The American Club of Lisbon was founded in 1947, shortly after the end of WWII, by a group of Portuguese and Americans who wanted to establish a permanent organization to perpetuate the friendly relations between the U.S. and Portugal. The American Club has gone through various cycles since that creation 75 years ago, from periods where many American business persons came to Portugal to manage subsidiaries of American companies, followed by periods when American companies realized it was far better to staff American companies in Portugal with local managers, bringing us to the present where we see a growing percentage of Americans choosing to move to Portugal for reasons other than business.

  We have always welcomed Americans, Portuguese, and representatives of other nations in striving to accomplish our missions, as defined in our statutes:
  - To promote closer relations, mutual respect and cooperation between the peoples of the United States of America and Portugal, and 
  - To promote the relationship between citizens of the United States of America and Portuguese citizens and of other nationalities residing in Portugal.

  Seventy-five years! An impressive record, which we want to celebrate with all the ceremony that it deserves, with the American Club 75th Anniversary Charity Gala at the Palacio Hotel in Estoril on Saturday, October 22, 2022, beginning at 7.30pm with a cocktail reception. Photos and 360 Degree video podium for the guests will be during this time. At 8:30pm you will be invited to the dining room for a 4-course dinner with interruptions for speeches and guest singers.

  It will be a wonderful event, black tie and evening dresses, with superb food and drink and live entertainment. You are encouraged to invite guests to come to the event, the cost is 160€ per person for Members and Guests. There will be tables of 8 available for those of you coming with friends.

  Registration is now open, just click below.

  
  
  

  The ACL will create Membership cards for all the American Club of Riviera and their guests attending our event, everyone can enjoy our Club discounts. As we approach the date, we will communicate more about the event. www.americancluboflisbon.com

  Regarding the Gala, it is 3 months away so we are still in pre-production. All I can disclose right now is that there will be orchestra (21 ensemble), raffles and DELTA Airlines will be gaming flights to the U.S (you all need to bring your phones to the Gala)

  Those planning on attending could you please let me know after you have registered on the American Club of Lisbon website and whether you will be attending just for the Gala or staying for the weekend via email at president@americanclubriviera.com
