​
whats a festee?
In Brazil, they’re called "Abadas," but since there’s no direct translation into English, the creative minds at Bredon Cider Festival have crafted something special—introducing the "Festee!"
An Abadá is a brightly colored T-shirt or outfit worn during Brazilian Carnival, especially at Bloco (street party) events. It functions as both an entry pass and a uniform for participants. Originally, "abadá" referred to a type of capoeira pants, but in Carnival culture, it’s become a must-have item, often customized with cuts, decorations, and accessories to match the lively, festive spirit. Welcome to the 'Festee!
