In over 340 locations, in over 55 countries for the last 11 years, hundreds of thousands of people have gathered together on the same weekend to dance as one global community, united with a common vision for peace and humanitarian and environmental aims.

Over 3 days and 2 nights from the 14th-16th September, Western Australia adds its voice to this global community. Earthdance WA takes place at Fairbridge Village, 5 km north of Pinjarra, Western Australia, with a celebration of music, dance, art and culture.

Earthdance WA is much more than just a dance party. It is a cross cultural celebration which offers something for everyone.

You can listen to beautiful acoustic folk music in the chapel, reggae in the big-top tent, psy trance on the Earth Stage, visit the healing village, shop in the markets, see a movie in the solar cinema, create art and musical instruments from recycled materials in the community art space and the children’s area, take part in the Earthdance games, get lost in the Space Space, learn about sustainability in the Green Futures area, paint a peace prayer flag, visit the peace shrine – the list goes on.

Earthdance is a not-for-profit event with the aim of raising funds for local humanitarian and environmental charities. This year the event will support Fairbridge Village, Pat Thomas Memorial House, St Patrick’s Community Centre and Sisters of St Joseph’s women’s refuge and City Farms Activate Tree planting scheme.
 In addition Earthdance Western Australia will be 98% recyclable.
