Christmas Jam, DJ set and live improvisation, CCBombarda, Porto
CCBombarda, Centro Comercial Bombarda
On Sunday 20 December 2026 at 17:00 the Jazzego label brings a Christmas Jam to the CCBombarda shopping centre on Rua de Miguel Bombarda in Porto, as part of Bom(Barda) Natal 2026. The session is led by the Jazzego Club Cuts, Aquele Carvalho and Minus & MRDolly, who provide a thread for the improvisation of three guest musicians. The music moves between well-known Christmas tunes and less obvious seasonal references, and musicians in the audience may join in. The page lists entry as free with no pre-registration, limited capacity, a duration of two hours from 17:00 to 19:00, and a general audience. A jam session like this is easy to enjoy alone, since you can drift in, listen and stay as long as you like. «Músicos presentes no público podem juntar-se à sessão» Starts 17:00, ends about 19:00. Source: Associação Quarteirão Criativo official event page (quarteiraocriativo.pt). The listing gives a start at 17:00, an end at 19:00, free entry without registration and limited capacity.
Host a game night
No table near you? Set one up in a minute.
Create a free invite (pick the Game night template), share the link, and the people who say yes bring the snacks. This is the whole host kit:
- A public table — a café, a bar's back room or a library room beats your living room for strangers.
- Two or three short games that take one minute to explain; save the four-hour epic for later.
- Cap it at 4–8 players per table and say so in the invite.
- Beginners welcome, in writing — it is the line that gets newcomers to say yes.
- Fixed end time, two to three hours, so leaving is easy and coming back next time is too.
