Boom Guide
ABC GUIDE FOR KIDS & PARENTS
Where to Have Fun as a Family at Boom
Young Dragons are young guests at Boom who are invited to attend the festival for free, provided they are 14 years or younger (born on or after 18 July 2012).
However, due to the conditions at Boom, which can be hot, dusty and loud, we advise parents against bringing children under the age of 3.
The Young Dragons is the zone where any child can come, and where parents and guardians can feel at home with their children. Located in one of the calmest spots of the festival, in a shaded zone, the area comprises natural playgrounds, movement activities, arts and music.
It's open every day from 09:00 AM to 21:00 PM.
Please be advised that this is not a drop-off zone – a parent or guardian is required to stay with their child/children throughout the day at the Young Dragons area.
Read about some of the key points to consider in our ABC guide below.

WHO IS THE FAMILIES CARAVAN PARK FOR?
- The Families Caravan Park is a reserved limited parking space for families with caravans. Groups or families without children under 14 years or younger (born on or after 18 July 2012) cannot park at this space.
- Children must be accompanied by a family member or legal guardian.
- More information about the Family Caravan Park will be released closer to the festival.
- Boomers younger than 18 years of age must be accompanied by their parents or legal guardians, or present a completed Terms of Responsibility form.
- When arriving at the Boom Festival gates, please be sure to carry your child(ren)’s (valid) ID documents.
- Babies booming in wombs are no doubt getting a vibrant start in life. We honour the sacred nature of the divine feminine to bring life into this world – it is nothing less than a sublime state of pure love – one we wish to both celebrate and help protect.
- So if you happen to be pregnant, we welcome you and your unborn child with open arms.
- Please keep in mind that the Boomland experiences high thermal amplitudes, with extreme heat by day and cold at night. An access requirement form will be available to fill out closer to the festival.
- Imagine Boom as a whole, but tailored for children aged 3 to 12: this is the Young Dragons area.
- Activities for young children and teenagers range from music and dance to arts, theatre, workshops, playground facilities and – of course – many games.
- The Young Dragons Area is open every day of the festival from 09:00 until 21:00.
- All children under the age of 14 or younger (born on or after 18 July 2012) must be registered at Boom. This is to ensure peace of mind for parents, guardians and us. It is also to ensure organisation and security.

- Kids tickets can take up to one week to be processed.
- To get services for kids – such as the Boom Bus – you first need to receive your child's ticket.
- Although the Young Dragons area has been designed with children in mind, it does not mean you can simply dump them here. Adult supervision is mandatory at all times.
- All the families will have to sign a Terms of Responsibility form for their children upon entering the festival site.
- For the security of your children on festival grounds, we’ve created a security registration procedure that consists in the association of your child's wristband to your emergency contact and name on our database.
- The emergency contact that you mentioned upon your child's ticket registration is the one we will use during the festival to contact you if needed. Please make sure that you provide a phone number that will be available at all times during the festival.
TIPS FOR A SAFE FESTIVAL IN FAMILY
- Tell your children who best to approach when you are on site, it will make them feel safe and teach them where to go in case you do get separated.
- Take an initial trip around the festival with your kids before the programme starts, to familiarise them with the festival site. Show them the Info Stand, the Young Dragons Area and other staffed info points at the festival. This is where they can also ask for help.
- Create reference points for your children to help them find your camping spot. Make sure you and your children know what to do if you do lose each other.
- Be very clear if you are arranging meeting places with older children. Visit the meeting place first together so you know exactly where to meet.
- Check in advance if your phone has signal.
- Put your phone on vibrate and in a place where you can feel it when you are by the dance stages.
- If you have a lost child, please talk with a Staff or Security Member immediately. We have procedures, radios and people on the land prepared to help find the child. And after that, please remain with the Boom Team and leave the work up to us.
- Avoid leaving the teens alone during the night in the camping zones. They can seem old enough, but our experience says that they may feel unsafe during the night.
- Always hold hands or carry your children through busy areas.
- Don’t leave your younger children in the Young Dragons Area alone. This team is offering family activities, not a babysitting service.
- Invest in walkie talkies, the kids will love them and is a nice communication tool.
- Stay together, enjoy the festival as a family, and have lots of fun.
- Don’t leave your younger children in the Young Dragons Area alone. This team is offering family activities, not a babysitting service.
- Create reference points for your children to help them find your camping spot. Make sure you and your children know what to do if you do lose each other.
- A transport service tailored specifically for families will help your sweet crew get from the camping areas all the way across to the Young Dragons Sacred Fire: the inclusive Shuttle.
WHO IS THE YOUNG DRAGONS CAMP FOR?
- The Young Dragons Camp is a space dedicated to families and young Boomers, 14 years or younger (born on or after 18 July 2012). Due to limited space, and in order to create a family mood, this area is restricted to relatives and guardians of children.
- Groups of friends and other family members who arrive without children must camp in the general camping areas.
YOUNG DRAGONS CAMP LOCATION
- Information about the Young Dragons camp location will be released closer to the festival.
WHAT TO BRING
- Bring your cosy habitat to better your experience – solar fairy lights to illuminate camping spaces, additional shade, flags for location, etc. Children love them and we do too.
- Moving with children from one place to another can be a challenge in a festival. Baby strollers or festival wagons will help you and them to have a comfortable experience.
KNOW YOUR NEIGHBOURS
- The Young Dragons Camp is designated to families but it is not fenced. Young Dragons stewards will help families on arrival, directing to this space and making sure that Boomers without children find their way to other camping areas.
- Families are invited to be the guardians of these places. Let’s work as a team and keep this area child and family friendly.
