About BEFF
BEFF is built by people. It’s about building community around the issues that shape our lives and our future: justice, inequality, and the crises facing people and the planet. The festival is put on by the Bohemian Cooperatives, an initiative emerging from Bohemian Football Club, and it’s part of a bigger effort to help our communities not just understand what’s happening, but to find ways to act together. If that speaks to you, come lend a hand at the festival, we’d love to have you involved.
