earthdance garden route

earthdance garden route is the garden route region's local edition of the global earthdance network, a worldwide simultaneous gathering held annually across dozens of sites in which all dancefloors join a shared peace prayer at a coordinated moment. the garden route edition is held at an outdoor site on the karoo 62 route in the western cape.

the earthdance format combines psytrance and psychedelic music programming with a ceremonial and community focus, reflecting the broader network's roots in the late 1990s peace-through-dance movement. south africa has historically been one of the more active earthdance territories, with multiple regional editions running concurrently each year.
