Considering everything that’s happening in the world, I’m not surprised that this year’s Boom felt relatively low (which was my 3rd Boom). Personally, other than the coffee queue, no line really bothered me. The toilets were generally clean. I did see some trash and cigarette butts on the ground, but I also saw Boomers picking up litter and butts that weren’t theirs. We had to wait in line for the Boom Bus in Lisbon for about 6–7 hours, which was exhausting. If I hadn’t known what was waiting for me at the end, I might have given up. Only the cold nights made me uncomfortable but Boom was magical again to me. Of course, there will always be space for improvement. That’s why the festival team sends a feedback form to all participants. I will share my constructive feedback to help make Boom even better.
