THE BOHEMIAN LOUNGE, THE VILLAGE GREEN & HEALING SANCTUARY

Follow the sound of poetry jams and sultry jazz to the Bohemian Lounge. A cozy space for chai sipping or chilling out, Bohemian Lounge-goers will also be able to settle in for a cabaret show or witness a circus extravaganza.

Next door in the Village Green, festival-goers are invited to connect with the wisdom of First Nations custodians, tune in to soothing sound therapy, watch the Village Green Artist in Residence create a live artwork and jam out with some African sunset drumming. You can meet your mates for spicy margies at Trouble San or shop for eclectic treasures in the Boutique Craft Markets. When it’s time for a change of pace, the Healing Sanctuary awaits. Here, Byon Bay’s most skilled and gifted healers, massage therapists and tarot readers tend to mind, body and soul.
