The Boom Festival is a International transformational Festival in Idanha-a-Nova Portugal. One of the Most Multidisciplinary, Psychedelic, sustainable Music festivals in the World. Boom Festival is the biggest Event in Europe that every two years Editions are in sync with the full moon. The only exception being Boom 2023 which is also the first ever consecutive edition, taking place during waxing crescent moon and with the theme "Radical Love".

Born in 1997 in Herdade do Zambujal, Águas de Moura, Portugal  as a goa trance psychedelic party, it has since then evolved into a global celebration of alternative culture.

Today, Boom is a festival that gathers people from all around the globe (in 2018, 147 countries were represented) that resonate with the mantra words of the festival such as Oneness, Music, Peace, Arts, Environment, Culture and Love. It is a 100% independent festival. It is renowned as a leading example of sustainability oriented festival.

Boom’s Environmental Paradigm has gained a reputation for its hand-on, fusionist, experimental approach for large scale gatherings. It is based on the following dimensions: art and creativity; water; air; soil; waste as a resource; public health; food and nutrition; engagement and social change; energy, mobility and transport; packaging; procurement and materials. The festival has won several green festival international awards since 2008.^[1]

Over the course of two decades, the festival has honoured themes such as Water (2010); Alchemy (2012); The Feminine (2014); Shamanism (2016) and Sacred Geometry in 2018.

The 13th edition of Boom Festival took place on 22 July - 29 July 2022 with The Anthropocene as its main theme, after being rescheduled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
