Boom Festival will be held 28 Jul to 04 Aug 2020 in Idanha a Nova, Portugal. Boom Festival is a biennial transformational festival in central Portugal featuring a variety of music performances, art exhibits and holistic workshops. In the festival's own words, 'Boom is not only a festival, it is a state of mind. Inspired by the principles of Oneness, Peace, Creativity, Sustainability, Transcendence, Alternative Culture, Active Participation, Evolution and Love, it is a space where people from all over the world can converge to experience an alternative reality.” These philosophies are shared with other transformational festivals like Burning Man.Boom Festival started in 1997 and since 1998 it has taken place every other year as a weeklong psychedelic trance music festival. Festival-goers come from around the world to enjoy the progressive arts and music that lean towards genres in trance, chillout, and other gentler electronic styles, although festival organizers are always on the lookout for alternate artistic genres. Art and performance play a large role, with circus, street theatre, jugglers, fire shows, film screenings, and amazing talents from all over the world also converging on the festival. Be sure to checkout for the fantastic array of sculptures scattered throughout the grounds. Boom Festival is an event and I like events...

The Boom Environmental Program has been recognized with the Outstanding Greener Festival Award for each of the last three festivals along with other awards, including the European Festival Award and Greener Festival Award for Green Innovation. It demonstrates how possible it really is to create human gatherings that respect the environment.
There is a strong focus on clean energy and using biodegradable products such as composting toilets to reduce the festival's carbon footprint. Participants are also encouraged to recycle their waste at every opportunity.
Boom is an open-minded gathering of the psychedelic movement. It is much more than just a music festival, though the music has been integral to the success of the festival. There are four dance stages: Dance Temple, Alchemy Circle, Sacred Fire and the Chill Out Gardens.
The Dance Temple showcases the powerful sound of the best organic trance and electronic psytrance. The newest stage, the Alchemy Circle, is the place to discover fresh sounds, outrageous styles, unexpected rhythms, and the merging of electronic sounds you would have never thought possible. The Sacred Fire stage is dedicated to the promotion of acoustic music and community life in contact with nature.
This is a camping event so you will need to bring a tent, sleeping bag and any other items to create your campsite. Free water is available onsite and there is plenty of food available for purchase in the restaurant area and Boom grocery store. Prices are very reasonable as they are monitored by the event organizers.
Boom is completely free of corporate sponsorship and is funded by ticket sales alone. There are no VIP areas, no special treatments—everyone is a VIP!
