Lisbon during the carnival season - specifically, on the Avenida da Liberdade for the "Marchas Populares" on the evening of 12th June (confirm with Lisbon Tourism but pretty safe since linked to St Anthony's day on the 13th)).

The good news is that this is predominantly a festival for locals so shouldn't jack up hotel prices beyond seasonal norms. Lisbon is fairly easy to reach by low cost airlines and there are plenty of other things to do.

Hi

Thanks for the tip. I'll have to do some research and put it forward at the next "social" meeting (aka we all get together for a few drinks and discuss the trip :cheers !)

I found a video from this year at http://vimeo.com/12590002 - you'll notice that some have rehearsed more than others! Each group is from a different district of the city and each will be having a party later - some seem to have started already!
