Venue/Directions

Nekkies Resort has been the home of Earthdance Cape Town for a number of years. This much loved campsite is an excellent venue with lots to offer. Over the last few years we have formed a strong relationship with the local municipality, services and businesses and love returning to this space, where the surrounding community have been so good to us.

"We don't need to make a big statement about this because it should just be done."
We'll just give a brief mention about our "Green Scheme" though, to give you an idea about how we choose to go about keeping the future bright.
- Our Earthdance Cape Town website is hosted by a Carbon neutral webhosting company on servers that produce 20% less CO2 than the average server.
- The all new Solar Stage will be run on Solar Power this year.
- For every 100 people who enter the event, we donate a tree via the Greenpop organization.
- Our marketing flyers are printed on recycled paper.
- We have a very careful waste management plan and there is a team organized to recycle all waste at the event.
- The event is run on BioDiesel generators.
- LED lighting is used wherever possible.
- All stores use biodegradable cups and plates, there is no polystyrene allowed.
- Hydration Station sells water bottles and filtered water. Customers are allowed to refill their bottles as much as they want, therefore reducing the amount of plastic waste from spring water bought at the bar.

However children under the age of 12 will be allowed in at no cost, but must remain under parental supervision at all times and are not allowed near any of the dancefloors or bar areas.
