We are going to be there in full force, selling the merchandise, as well as providing a stall where we will be offering coffees and teas by a warm fire. Please come and visit our stall to view our merchandise, relax by a warm fire and sip on a bit of tea or coffee! Looking forward to seeing you all and thanking the Bushfire festival organizers for this fantastic opportunity and their faithful support!
Bushfire Festival 2011
Swaziland is getting ready for a three day fever- pitch party when the fifth annual Bushfire Festival scorches into town over the weekend of 27th to 29th May 2011.Bushfire is an explosion of entertainment that lights up the picturesque Kingdom of Swaziland every year at the acclaimed House on Fire performance venue. It is the country’s biggest live music happening, attracting in the region of 20 000 visitors the three day event.
The festival’s theme for 2011 is “Mixing the Point”, and the focus will be on artistic and cultural collaboration, on a pan-African and international level- and audiences can expect some serious musical fireworks! This international arts festival is not only about having an awesome time with good friends in a gorgeous setting, but also a pioneer on the continent in a social responsible and sustainable event-staging.
It supports the growth and development of the arts while highlighting the need to raise funds for some of the most pressing social needs facing Swaziland. As such, 100% of the profits from Bushfire Festival will be donated to Young Heroes, an NGO providing education, healthcare, food and general support to AIDS orphans. Bushfire also donates 100% of profits from its official merchandise sales to Gone Rural boMake.
