BoomTown Fair 2013
Going in to its fifth year BoomTown Fair is a music, circus, experiMental arts festival that celebrates ska, reggae, dub, swing, punk and all spectrums of roots and bass culture.
Since BoomTown Fair’s upgrade to city status in 2012, not only has the population of the city expanded but so has the amount of mini venues throwing open their doors to get down and dirty with BoomTown’s annual Fair! Across the City’s six districts, over 30 shops, buildings and residential houses halt their usual business for four days and nights, allowing all BoomTown residents to enjoy and witness the hidden magic behind the winding streets of the Fair! These venues host a range of deranged temporary party worlds for the amusement and delight of each and every town resident!
There is so much to see and do it’s hard to know where to start, but start we must, and here is a mini guided tour around all the magic, mayhem and mystery BoomTown Fair has to offer within its paradoxical mini venues.With winding streets and eccentric venues to explore, BoomTown Fair is an actual town created by an ever expanding network of artists, craftsmen and imaginative minds. The festival has sold out every year for the past four years and has impressively expanded from just 1,000 in 2009 to 28,000 in 2012 and with the addition of a ski-lift for the convenience of the BoomTown residents in 2013, they just keep on raising that bar! The secret to success is an eye for detail and dedication to perfection and imagination; as well as keeping the ticket price affordable and accessible for all.
It’s the UK’s most innovative and imaginative event providing festivalgoers with a fully interactive experience where they can explore and indulge in the many districts of Boomtown including ChinaTown, Mayfair Avenue and Trench Town.
