South African Psytrance Festival Calendar 2019

When the music starts flowing through your body & the beat of the drums shakes your chest, feeling like a heartbeat… When the bass crawls up your spine, until it fizzles your brain & all you can do is dance… or spin… in a circle – you understand how the music makes you feel & it is exactly right…

Beings from all walks of life, move as ONE entity & together are able to expand our consciousness, express our innermost emotions, uplift & nourish, not only ourselves, but also our brothers & sisters in life.

LOCATION – CIRCLE OF DREAMS – Riviersonderend / Cape Town

Shaded Camping by your car – Hot Showers, Flush-Toilets, Mountain Spring Drinking Water, Communal Braai Areas in all Camping Zones, around the clock security, Medics, Art Performances, Food Vendors, Workshops, Trade Stalls, Beautiful Swimming River & so much more. Remember to car pool; not only will this help with fuel costs but it will help reduce the CO2 emissions of the festival. Together is the way we can make a difference.

It’s that time of year again. It is time to celebrate the Love & Light and the beauty of Cape Town with an event that aims to bring people together in a unified space of amazing music and happy energy.

Coincidentally, although we know there is no such thing, our 8th year date falls upon a Full Moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, a time that signified the harvest of wild berries in the summertime.

Full moon is a time of creative outflow, a time to harvest and enjoy that which was started over the New Moon. This particular Midsummer’s Full Moon can be a time to manifest and celebrate everything created and explored through 2018.

We want you to celebrate with us, under the beautiful Sun, followed by the Full Moon, at our full day event on 22 December 2018. Expect more of what you have come to love about Love & Light, with some extra touches, to make it the best of its kind to date.

Afrikaburn 2019 Theme

Ephemerality (from Greek – ephemeros) is the concept of things being transitory, existing only briefly.

Rising like a dusty mirage out of the Karoo heat, there’s a city that many call home. A manifestation of our collective imagination, the culmination of our collective efforts. It comes and goes, and ebbs and flows. It’s transient, temporary and transitory. It’s neither here, nor there. It is real in its unrealness.

It’s a collection of differences where we discover the secrets of ourselves that have been kept hidden. Where we uncover hidden strengths and talents, and where we expose our weaknesses and our shortcomings. An experiment with echoes of the past and explosions of the future.
