About the festival

In the heart of the awe-inspiring Tankwa Karoo, where barren landscapes meet boundless creativity, the regional Burning Man event known as Afrikaburn will return for another mesmerizing edition from 28 April to 04 May 2025. After a triumphant 2023 and 2024 event that left participants spellbound, Afrikaburn is set to once again push the boundaries of artistic expression, self-reliance, and communal participation.

Often hailed as the African sibling of the iconic Burning Man festival in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, Afrikaburn has emerged as a testament to the continent’s unique spirit and artistic prowess. Drawing participants from far and wide, this transformative gathering invites individuals to join a week-long adventure of self-discovery, collaboration, and radical self-expression.

At the core of Afrikaburn lies an unyielding dedication to artistic expression.

From awe-inspiring sculptures and interactive installations to dazzling performances and ethereal music, Afrikaburn transforms the Tankwa Karoo into a playground for boundless creativity.

Thousands of participants converged upon the Tankwa Karoo, forming a vibrant and inclusive community united by a shared passion for art, freedom, and self-expression. The event showcased the incredible talent of both local and international artists, fostering connections and inspiring personal growth.

The festival promises a plethora of mind-bending art installations, captivating performances, workshops, and communal activities that will challenge and inspire participants to embrace their creativity fully. Attendees can look forward to the renowned Temple of Stars, a sacred space for reflection and introspection, as well as the ever-popular Thunderdome, where warriors engage in epic combat with foam weapons.

As the sun sets on the Tankwa Karoo, a profound energy descends upon Afrikaburn, weaving together the dreams and aspirations of thousands of individuals. In this remarkable fusion of art, music, and communal spirit, Afrikaburn 2024 promises to be an unmissable adventure that will leave participants forever changed.
