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 a limited capacity event. We advise that you get your tickets in advance. Thanks for your support.

You can get to the Being Gathering from the Lisboa, Oporto or Madrid airports with the comfort of the Being Bus.

If you are coming from Castelo Branco, there will also be shuttles available, to/from the Being Gathering.

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.

More information soon.

Absolutely not. 

Fire risk is EXTREMELY HIGH at Boomland, please don’t put yourself, other people at the gathering and nature at risk.

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

The heat and responsibility of looking after pets in such an environment lead to the conclusion that it is better to leave them at home. 

Moreover, Boomland is abundant in leishmaniasis - which can kill animals.

You can use a bicycle inside the Being Gathering.
