Welcome to AKASHA

International Music, Arts & Lifestyle Festival

OFFICIAL: Akasha Festival is having a break year for the festival season of 2008.

After two magic festivals and a lot of hard work and dedication in not only bringing this beautiful festival to life, but also regenerating the land where the festival has been held over the past few years, the team at Akasha need a well earned rest.



We are planning to return the festival in February 2009 – last weekend for the Summer! The journey of Akasha will continue to focus its energies on environment, community and spirit. We will again be working together as a community and asking only those who understand what it takes to make the magic happen, be a part of the festivities in 2009. Akasha Festival is a not-for-profit gathering of people from all walks of life, coming together to celebrate music, dance culture, families, community spirit, good health, sustainability and life.



Thankyou Wilderness Society!

Big thank-you to the Wilderness Society – and all of our crew for making this happen over the past few years! And thanks for making a difference to the land and restoring it to its natural being through tree planing, de-weeding, water and land management. We look forward to seeing the smiles and sharing the energy again in 2009!!!!!
