A certain wispering makes it round within our scene, some long- streched vocal sound and it is getting louder and louder every day. Listen carefully, can you hear it too? …BOOM…
From all that georgeous festivals our scene brings to life around the globe from weekend to weekend this gathering in the heart of Portugal is
definitely very, very special. Quite some travelers who have seen heaps of parties in many different countries claim it to be the most remarkable, most extraordinary festival around. And there are quite some reasons for it:

In the area around Idanha-a-Nova, where the festival is located, you will find a very dry, almost savanna- like landscape. Very hot in summer. But the Boom venue is located on the shores of a large reservoir. No matter which direction you walk from one of the dancefloors- you will be in the water after a very short time. The camping is situated on some rolling hills covered by old cork oaks which deliver some extra shadow. All together the venue is that picturesque that it would be worth going there for a holiday even without party!


Boom always had a very sophisticated approach and wants to deliver its audience more then just dancing and listening to music. So the Liminal Village feautures a large variety of workshops going from yoga and permaculture to even Kung Fu or astrology. There will also be an arts gallery presenting some of the best paintings and sculptures of the psychedelic arts movement. An that is still not all: A theater stage shows interesting performances, a cinema will show movies from documentations, and visuals to fictional films and cartoons.

All this details might be impressing. But be sure: If you feel Boom with your own senses it will be much more! I will end this article with the words I also said to lots of my friends when leaving a festival a few days ago: See ya at Boom!
