Calling all women for the ultimate girls weekend

Camping is one of the best activities to do in the summer for everyone, but what if you just want an all-girls camping experience?

Glamping is the way to go, and the Bohemian Summer Festival is the perfect event to join in.

Started last year by siblings Julz Taylor and Kerri MacPherson, the Bohemian Summer Festival hosts about 1000 women at Phoenix Park in Ballan.

“We went to a lot of women’s festivals, and we wanted to do something that was not so much about the wellness,” Ms Taylor said.

“We love all the wellness, but we want to really make it an ultimate girls’ weekend.

“Think cocktails, movie nights, all the things that you love on girls’ weekend but on a massive scale.”

The event welcomes women aged 15 and up.

Ms Taylor said the festival is an opportunity and space for women to put themselves first.

“You are important too, you’re not just someone’s mother or sister or daughter or caretaker,” she said.

“We always seem to burn ourselves out.

“At Bohemian Summer Festival, we say ditch the routine, put yourself first, and it’s three days dedicated to doing exactly what you want to do.”

The festival is a three-day, two-night event happening from Friday, February 14 to Sunday, February 16, where guests can have the option of camping, glamping, bringing their caravans, or just enjoy the day with a daily pass.

The event features 120 activities, women-owned stalls, live music, dance parties, outdoor cinema, and many more activities tailored to women’s wants and needs.
