Dates for this year’s Afrika Burns Festival have been announced. The 2008 Burning Man-style open-air shindig is set to take place from 16-19 October on a privately owned farm in the Karoo (South Africa).

In case you missed it, Afrika Burns is an “ART festival… participant created… an experiment in temporary community building… radical self-expression, self reliance and non-commercialism… encouraging a culture of environmental mindfulness”. (more)

It’s also, you’ll be glad to know, been dubbed a “fantastical amazing mind-blowing party“ – so there you go. Tickets for the event go on sale soon.
