What is the Ultimate Girls Weekend?The Ultimate Girls Weekend, presented by Bohemian Summer Festival is a 2-night, 3-day women's retreat style festival. Women are invited to ditch their everyday routines and responsibilities to put themselves first for a change! Enjoy workshops, sound healings, meditation, yoga, crafts, live performances, pampering, cocktails and so much more.
-
Who can attend the Ultimate GIRLS Weekend?The Ultimate Girls Weekend welcomes and attracts women of all ages due to our "ultimate girls' weekend" concept in which we base the whole festival around. Women and those who identify as women are warmly welcome to our event. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us if you are unsure. The Ultimate Girls Weekend is now a 15 plus event due to the extensive feedback from our first event requesting this change (from all ages) and to stay true to our concept to encourage women to do something for themselves. If you are keen to see an all ages, more family centered event please express your interest HERE
-
Why did you change the name from Bohemian Summer Festival to The Ultimate Girls Weekend?For two reasons: We don't always run the event in Summer so it didn't make sense to keep the word "summer" in our name There has often been some confusion on what the festival is all about. Some, due to the name assumed we were a hippy festival. We wanted to make it very clear we are a board lifestyle and wellness event that welcomes ALL women no matter what you are into.
-
Where is the festival held?The Ultimate Girls Weekend is held in two states: Cleveland Estate in Lancefield Victoria and Ivory's Rock in Peak Crossing, Queensland
-
Who are the organisers?Created by two sisters Julz and Kerri, the Ultimate Girls Weekend was founded with the intention to bring about that feeling of being supported and connected to a village. Women are often so busy working and raising their families that we can feel disconnected and alone in our journeys. Whether looking for a fun girl's weekend or a more meaningful connection to their sisterhood, we hope that The Ultimate Girls Weekend leaves them with a renewed feeling of purpose and fulfillment.
-
What is the process of purchasing tickets to arriving at the festival?Get your ticket, pick your accommodation, and grab a car/caravan pass if you need it. The gates open at 7am every day of the festival. Just a heads up - on Friday, the fun starts a bit later so you can set up camp without breaking a sweat. Once you arrive, you will be instructed to drive to your accommodation spot where you can unload and then move your car out to the main parking area. If you have a day pass or staying offsite, you can just park your vehicle and then head straight in. Oh, and don't miss the program! Plan your days or just wing it when you get here. No need to reserve spots in workshops ahead of time. Program will be released soon so keep an eye out.
