Boom Festival a psychedelic culture festival, whereas the Being Gathering is a small gathering focused on well-being, healing, kids and spiritual activities. 

At the Being there are also several concerts. 

The Being Gathering doesn’t have the same concept as Boom.

Yes, the Being Gathering is limited to 5.000 people. We advise that you get your tickets in advance. Thanks for the support.

Being Camp will happen in two cycles: 15 to 21 July and 22 to 28 July.

It’s an extension of Being Gathering, with less capacity (450 people each cycle) and a program with less activities. 

Make sure to follow up on the concept here.

Because we, at Boom, believe in the transformational potential of festivals. And we love small scale, intimate events. 

Our main intention with the Being is to present an experience solely dedicated to the spiritual dimension of the human being.

Boom Festival is a connection with oneness through the activation of the mind and senses. It is a wake-up call.

The Being Gathering is a reconnection with our deeper essence. A place to acquire tools for our alignment. It is a moment to turn our senses inwards, among a community.

If you purchase the Weekend Ticket, you can enter from 18:00 onwards on 21 June.

There are a very limited number of Tipis and Star Tents (big tents – Native American style) available for renting.

Pets are not allowed into the event - for their own safety, and that of others.

Launched in 2002 at Boom Festival, Kosmicare is an area born from a collaboration between several entities: Boom Festival, Universidade Católica do Porto, Check In, MAPS and the Portuguese governmental institution SICAD (ex-IDT).

Kosmicare comprises:

• Advice on damage prevention;
• Risk minimisation and Harm reduction: information and support, healthcare;
• A team of multilingual volunteers (including psychologists, psychiatrists, and medics) ready to provide support in case of negative experiences.

Yes, you can swim at your own risk. 

Please, do not use chemicals (soaps, lotions, etc) on your body that might pollute the lake and do not use the lake as a toilet. Thank you!

Water from the lake is analysed several times, it is not proper to drink but it is good to swim in.

Vehicles will be searched for glass.
