BoomTown Fair will be held 09 to 13 Aug 2023 in New Alresford, England. BoomTown Fair is a music and arts festival held near Winchester in England, It is one of the UK's most popular new festivals and for good reason. Much like Burning Man, BoomTown's carnivalized municipality relies heavily on its participants to use their ingenuity to create the architecture and celebration. Audience-produced festivals are the rage and that's no surprise in our peer-to-peer digital era. Coined one of UK’s wildest immersive festivals, BoomTown Fair is a gripping concoction of utopian community living mixed with a spectrum of music and immersive theatrics. Organizers literally create a pop-up city where thousands of people from all corners of the world become residents of this fantasy world, where abnormality is the norm and eccentricity is embraced. For four days and four nights, BoomTown residents dance to a multitude of musical genres – like reggae, deep house, bluegrass, techno, electro-swing, and jazz – in nine themed districts, all while dressed in colorful, imaginative outfits. BoomTown Fair is an event and I like events...
The city is split into nine musical districts, which feature different themes to stimulate your curiosity and senses.
The magic of each district can only be fully felt if each resident participates. Festival-goers may choose the district in which they camp, and should wear appropriate attire corresponding to the district’s theme. After all, BoomTown is a fully-immersive experience, and dressing for the occasion enhances not only your visit, but those of fellow citizens around you.So don your eye patch for OldTown or steampunk apocalyptic coat for DSTRKT 5 and get into it!
