Boom Festival is a global art, music and culture gathering held every two years in Portugal’s sun-drenched countryside in a stunning outdoor location on the shore of the Lake Idanha-a-Nova.
Bringing together the latest in psychedelic audio and visuals, art installations and workshops this week-long event is a harmonic convergence of people, energy, information and philosophies from around planet Earth and beyond.
Synchronized multi-dimensionally with the full moon of August the next incarnation of the Boom is taking a bio-dynamic approach by incorporating a variety of sustainable techniques and Earth-based forms throughout its infrastructure.
Reflecting a harmonic balance of the organic and the cyber-technologic, Boom 06 maps the metaphysical framework in accordance with Peace, Love, Unity and Respect.
The tone is set for a transformative experience in celebration of the perpetual cycle of creation and re-creation - from the Beginning of the Whole to the Eschaton.

Boom Festival Location there.
Boom “city” is located at an unspoilt ranch on the shores of the amazing lake of Idanha-a-Nova. Boom “city” stretches for about 3km of the lake’s shore. So you can learn, dance, enjoy and swim simultaneously.
Set amongst the beautiful surroundings of the central north of Portugal, Idanha-a-nova village is just a few kilometres away from the lake.
A magic place filled with energy ready to become the active centre of the psy-community and ready to support the Boom “city”.
This magnificent place is characterized by its biggest asset: billions of fresh crystal clear water. This mountain top lake serves as a mirror to the sky’s full moon and also as a guarantee for the survival of the local agriculture and delicate nature. Granted the honour of being part of Natura 2000. Surrounded by endless fields and cork trees.
Historically this is the region with the oldest Portuguese culture. From the Boom location you can see in the horizon the oldest village in Portugal, Monsanto just 15 km away.
Idanha-a-Nova (a village with about 3000 residents) is 50 km from the Spanish border and 35 km from the city of Castelo Branco in Portugal. The Boom location is (by car) 288 km from the capital of Portugal, Lisbon.
